点评:I’d give this place ten stars if possible. What a treasure. The architecture, setting, walking trails, and , oh yes, the artwork not to mention the astounding library…..so well executed. For an understated collection, this place really has it all. The collection is mostly European -think Renoir, Rodin, impressionists. There are American artworks as well as collections of silver and glass. For the person who doesn’t get or like contemporary art this is the place for you.
The library is extensive offering research opportunities. Music and film programs are available and the gift shop has unusual gift items , many books on sale and postcards of popular works from the collection.
It was too cold to walk the trail to yet another building -unfortunate since outdoor installations are on the property.
But I did attend a film in the auditorium one evening-part of the film noir series free to the public.
There’s a cafe with a limited menu that closes at three.
翻译:如果可以,我真想给这里十颗星。真是个宝藏!建筑、环境、步道,还有,哦对了,还有那些艺术品,更不用说那令人惊叹的图书馆了……一切都如此完美。对于一个低调的收藏来说,这里应有尽有。藏品以欧洲作品为主——想想雷诺阿、罗丹和印象派画家。这里也有美国艺术品,以及银器和玻璃器皿收藏。如果你不了解或不喜欢当代艺术,这里绝对是你的理想之地。
图书馆藏书丰富,提供各种研究资源。这里还提供音乐和电影放映活动,礼品店里出售各种别致的礼品、许多书籍以及馆藏热门作品的明信片。
那天太冷了,没法沿着步道走到另一栋建筑——有点可惜,因为这里还有一些户外装置艺术。
不过,我还是在一个晚上去礼堂看了场电影——这是免费向公众开放的黑色电影系列的一部分。
这里还有一家咖啡馆,菜单选择有限,下午三点就关门了。
