All About Sheep: Celebrating the Zodiac, New Year Feature Exhibition
新春特集展示 ひつじづくし―干支を愛でる―
2026Dec22(Tue)–2027Feb7(Sun)About this exhibition
2027年の干支は羊。羊にはみなさんも普段お世話になっていますよね。そう、ウールは羊毛から作られる繊維です。ただ、日本では、広大な牧用地が確保しにくく、北海道以外ではなかなか馴染みがない動物です。しかし、中国やヨーロッパでは一般的な家畜で、羊肉も盛んに食べられています。この展示では、羊に関係する文化財を紹介しますが、馴染みがないだけに、珍品だらけになる予感がしませんか。ぜひ、確認しにおいでください。
