点评:Pros:
Wonderful place for a date or a time to see the historic art. Free admission for students. Decent collection of artworks from modern to contemporary period.
Parking could be better (best time to find parking is when they first open the doors) but the parking was not the reason for the two circle review.
Cons:
The security guards have an attitude. Had a sketching session stopped short since I was not in an area designated for sitting. Maybe it's time to add more benches? I didn't even touch anything, not even the sculptures!
This was my third visit, and it was the worst one of all. First two in the last two-three months went with no problems. All I did was watch the artwork, never touched, and took pictures. The third visit was the first time I ventured into the sculptures section, which should not be a problem as it was outdoors and allowed the freedom to sit or stand and sketch what I saw.
On another note, if you want classic era works you're better off going to the Getty Villa. Museum tends to be predominantly focused on modern art (1800s and later).
Can't give them 4 circles, just two. It would've been three if the guards were not this big headed. It would've been four if they expanded their classical sculpture collection. LACMA will have a similar collection when they open their Geffen complex.
This incident was a whole other level of bad. The Getty has been known to have security guards with attitudes, but I didn't expect this at the Norton Simon. I left the museum with a bitter experience.
翻译:优点:
这里是约会或欣赏历史艺术的绝佳场所。学生免费入场。馆藏作品涵盖现代到当代艺术,相当丰富。
停车情况有待改善(刚开门时停车最方便),但停车并非我给出两星评价的原因。
缺点:
保安态度很差。我因为不在指定的座位区域写生,就被他们叫停了。也许应该增加一些长椅?我什么都没碰,连雕塑都没碰!
这是我第三次来这里,也是最糟糕的一次。前两次都是在过去两三个月内来的,都很顺利。我只是欣赏艺术品,没有碰任何东西,只是拍照而已。第三次是我第一次去雕塑区,按理说应该没什么问题,因为雕塑区在户外,可以自由地坐着或站着写生。
另外,如果你想看古典时期的作品,最好去盖蒂别墅。这家博物馆主要收藏现代艺术(19世纪及以后的作品)。
我只能给他们两颗星,不能给四颗。如果保安没那么傲慢,我会给三颗星。如果他们扩充一下古典雕塑藏品,我会给四颗星。洛杉矶郡立艺术博物馆(LACMA)的盖芬艺术中心开放后,也会有类似的藏品。
这次事件简直糟糕透顶。盖蒂中心的保安态度不好是出了名的,但我没想到诺顿·西蒙博物馆也会这样。我带着糟糕的体验离开了博物馆。
