点评:This was our 4th visit to The Louvre, the 3rd in the last 12 years. This time I wanted to spend time going deep into the museum galleries, across all three buildings, to see the buildings as the Royal Palace it once was. So we made plans to spend the day there. We arrived by 9am, got in line, got diverted to another entrance with short security lines, and made our way into the main information lobby. After stowing bags, we stopped at Starbucks for coffee and pastries. Then headed upward and onward into the Richelieu building for the French and North European 15th-18th Century galleries where we saw some stunning religious art. We kept moving through the galleries, one by one, until we had moved throughout all three buildings. Lunch break was at an outdoor cafe overlooking the Pyramid plaza, with closeup views of the statues that adorn the full length of the Louvre. Highlights were seeing Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People, some Della Robbia terracotta works, and the Royal Apartments (with Couture fashion installations from major houses like Balenciaga and Versace, to name just a couple). We ended up spending about 6 hours at the museum. Pretty sure we didn't hit all the galleries, but enough to allow us to feel like we saw the building from a historical perspective as well as the art collection, up close and personal. As a fan of modern architecture, it was nice to see I.M. Pei's work from many angles, not just the Pyramid outdoors.
翻译:这是我们第四次参观卢浮宫,也是过去 12 年里的第三次。这次我想花时间深入博物馆的画廊,穿过所有三座建筑,看看它们曾经是皇宫的样子。所以我们计划在那里待一天。我们早上 9 点到达,排队后被引导到另一个安检线较短的入口,然后进入主信息大厅。存放行李后,我们在星巴克停下来喝咖啡和吃糕点。然后继续向上走,进入黎塞留楼,那里有法国和北欧 15 至 18 世纪的画廊,我们在那里看到了一些令人惊叹的宗教艺术。我们继续穿过一个又一个的画廊,直到我们走遍了所有三座建筑。午餐时间是在一家俯瞰金字塔广场的户外咖啡馆度过的,可以近距离欣赏装饰整个卢浮宫的雕像。亮点包括参观德拉克洛瓦的《自由引导人民》、德拉·罗比亚的一些陶土作品,以及皇家公寓(其中展出了巴黎世家、范思哲等大牌的高级定制时装装置)。我们最终在博物馆待了大约6个小时。虽然我们没能参观完所有的展厅,但足以让我们从历史的角度近距离地欣赏这座建筑以及艺术收藏。作为一名现代建筑的爱好者,很高兴能从多个角度欣赏贝聿铭的作品,而不仅仅是在户外欣赏金字塔。
