Veins Museum

The varves museum is the world's first museum that pursues one theme, varves. “Annual stripes” are stripes of mud that have accumulated on the bottom of the lake over a long period of time. Lake Suigetsu, one of the Five Lakes of Mikata (Fukui Prefecture), is one of the five scenic lakes in Japan. It is recognized around the world as a measure. Facing the lake, 100 flakes of "shining soil = varves" are displays, becoming a symbol of the region beyond the framework of a museum.

Landscapes are also one of the displays here. You can feel the change of time, and when the sun goes down, the displays will change its expression along with the scenery. We produced a harmonious view of the world without borders between displays, architecture, and landscape.
