新竹市美术馆暨开拓馆

《2014.10.02》我是沿着东门城旁的护城河亲水公园走来的，附近有原新州厅（今新竹市政府 ），消防博物馆，影像博物馆等地可以顺游。 新竹市美术馆暨开拓馆建成时是日治时代的新竹市役所。它是坐用美丽砖头以及厚重感十足的混凝土所建成的官方建筑。也因为或许有官厅色彩，砖头的选用上比起一般建筑来说更加考究。建筑所呈现的美观，绝对不输附近崭新的现代大楼。建筑前人行道有个简介牌，强烈建议观看，可以从中了解建筑的历史沿革，以及特色。这栋建筑，现今为美术馆暨开拓馆，属于地方性的小型博物馆。一楼为开拓馆。二楼是美术馆。走一趟就可大致了解新竹的样貌，建议前往。里头的志工也充满热情，有问题可加以询问。开馆时间：周二~周日 ，9→17时。不过，就算没开馆。建筑本身也值得一看。
