Echigo-Matsunoyama Museum of Natural Science. 2003
The museum is a center for education and training focused on natural science. In the winter it is buried in the snow, submerged like a submarine, and must bear the weight of 2,000 tons of thick snow. The beautiful mountain scenery of Echigo-Tsumari can be viewed across the treetops from the 34-meter tower. In winter the way to the entrance is between walls of snow. The museum's thick acrylic windows show visitors cross-sections of the snow whose weight they bear. In summer, beech forests and terraced rice paddies fill the windows.
