The Art Museum of South Texas的点评
点评:The AMST is one of the best regional art museums in Texas, with a large permanent collection of Dorothy Hood’s abstract paintings, beautiful Chihuly chandelier and numerous wildlife sculptures by world famous Kent Ullberg. Exhibits in the main Chapman Gallery rotate quarterly, currently featuring landscapes by Woody Gwyn (May 15, 2026 thru Aug 23, 2026). There also is a permanent collection of Spanish Colonial art. The original building was designed by Phillip Johnson (one of the most famous of modern architects of the 1970’s - 1980’s); the newer addition was designed with a Latin American flavor by architect Ricardo Legoretto, featuring 13 pyramids on the roof. The porch in the back provides a beautiful view of the ship channel, the Texas State Aquarium, and the USS Lexington aircraft carrier museum. And, the museum includes a Mediterranean restaurant for lunch (Elizabeth’s at the Art Museum) plus a nice gift store.
翻译:德克萨斯州艺术博物馆 (AMST) 是德克萨斯州最好的地区性艺术博物馆之一,馆藏丰富,包括多萝西·胡德 (Dorothy Hood) 的大量抽象画作、精美的奇胡利 (Chihuly) 水晶吊灯以及世界著名艺术家肯特·乌尔伯格 (Kent Ullberg) 的众多野生动物雕塑作品。主展厅查普曼画廊 (Chapman Gallery) 每季度轮换展出作品,目前正在展出伍迪·格温 (Woody Gwyn) 的风景画(2026 年 5 月 15 日至 2026 年 8 月 23 日)。此外,馆内还收藏了西班牙殖民时期的艺术品。博物馆的原始建筑由菲利普·约翰逊 (Phillip Johnson) 设计(他是 20 世纪 70 年代至 80 年代最著名的现代建筑师之一);新建部分则由建筑师里卡多·莱戈雷托 (Ricardo Legoretto) 设计,带有浓郁的拉丁美洲风情,屋顶上耸立着 13 座金字塔。从后廊可以欣赏到美丽的航道、德克萨斯州水族馆和“列克星敦”号航空母舰博物馆的景色。博物馆内还设有一家地中海餐厅(伊丽莎白艺术博物馆餐厅)和一家精美的礼品店,供游客享用午餐。
