Special Open House of Wooldridge Architecture (Andrews Memorial Museum & Wooldridge Memorial Museum) Spring 2025

This event will provide a special open house of two Wooldridge buildings in Omihachiman City. Andrews was a close friend of Wooldridge during his university days, and the first building designed by Wooldridge, completed in 1907, was based on funds donated by his family. The Wooldridge Memorial Museum was once the home of the couple. In both facilities, there will be a tourism guide association stationed. Normally, reservations are required for visiting, but during this period, no reservations are necessary. This event is carried out with the cooperation of the Omih Brotherhood and the Tourism Volunteer Guide Association.
