点评:The house tour was totally worth it. I liked being able to scan a code & use my phone to listen to the history on my cell phone & explore at my own pace. The grounds were immaculate, the art museum had top artists, the circus museum has done a great job restoring it all to its glory days & saving Americana. My teenager’s favorite part was a miniatures circus display —all done by one man!
Only negative was that there were not enough video rooms. We wanted to teach the kids something about the early lives of the Ringling Brothers. And how the buyout took place from Barnum & Bailey. And The current state of circuses & similar events. And what the future holds. And Interviews today of elderly people reminiscing the good ole days. So many missed opportunities. And (perhaps for an extra fee) videos of circuses from start to end using old footage.
The Board is focusing on the wrong things. We don’t need to see more art being acquired. We need more video rooms showing our young people about how circuses played a role in shaping America.
Still, 5 Stars for sure
翻译:这次参观真是太值了!我喜欢用手机扫描二维码,然后听历史讲解,还能按照自己的节奏慢慢探索。庄园环境一尘不染,艺术博物馆里展出了顶尖艺术家的作品,马戏博物馆也做得非常出色,把一切都恢复了昔日的辉煌,保护了美国文化遗产。我家青少年最喜欢的是一个微缩马戏团展览——竟然是一个人做的!
唯一不足的是视频放映室太少了。我们想让孩子们了解玲玲马戏团兄弟的早期生活,以及他们是如何从巴纳姆贝利马戏团手中收购玲玲马戏团的,还有马戏团和类似活动的现状,以及未来的发展方向。我们还想播放一些老年人回忆往昔岁月的采访。真是错失了很多机会。或许可以额外付费播放一些用老影像资料拍摄的马戏团从头到尾的完整视频。
董事会关注的重点错了。我们不需要看到更多的艺术品被收购。我们需要更多视频放映室,向年轻人展示马戏团在美国发展历程中所扮演的角色。
不过,绝对五星好评。
