点评:We really enjoyed the Yin Yu Tang house, though the exhibit seems very out of place in Salem, MA. It wasn't busy on the day we were there so we were allowed to stay a little longer than the timed entrance usually allows. You really do need more time than they allot to explore the house.
The Anila Quayyum Agha: All the Flowers Are for Me exhibit is stunning. We were lucky to be the only ones there so it wasn't crowded with people and we could appreciate the full room.
The politics of the exhibits was a bit off-putting. If the unknown artist was a native American Indian, it was listed as "name once known." If the unknown artist was white it was listed as "artist in the United States" or "artist probably in Italy." Just stick to the art.
The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The security is useless, if that's at all important to you. We walked in, with a greeting from security, with no screening in the morning but when we returned in the afternoon, my purse was searched.
翻译:我们非常喜欢阴郁堂故居,尽管展览在马萨诸塞州塞勒姆显得有些格格不入。我们去的那天人不多,所以被允许比通常的限时入场时间多待一会儿。参观这座故居确实需要比他们规定的时间更长一些。
阿尼拉·奎尤姆·阿加的“百花齐放”展览令人惊艳。我们很幸运,当时只有我们几个人,所以展厅里人不多,我们可以好好欣赏整个展厅。
展览的政治立场有点让人不舒服。如果艺术家是美洲原住民,那么他的名字会被标注为“曾为人所知”。如果艺术家是白人,那么他的名字会被标注为“美国艺术家”或“可能是意大利艺术家”。还是专注于艺术本身吧。
工作人员友好、博学且乐于助人。但安保措施形同虚设,如果你很在意的话。我们早上进去的时候,安保人员热情地和我们打招呼,没有进行任何安检;但下午我们再去的时候,我的包却被搜查了。
