Beautiful Museum, Uninterested Security Staff
史密森学会弗里尔美术馆和阿瑟·M·萨克勒美术馆的点评
点评:Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art is a quiet and introspective museum. Beautiful art work and sculptures - very nice visit that was calming, not noisey or overwhelming. Upon entrance, the information desk guides were helpful to provide an overview of the different rooms - the museum is bigger than I expected. Since we could not get into the special exhibit because it reached its capacity, we sat outside and enjoyed interior garden area, which was pleasant respite even in December. The most unfortunate part that detracted from the entire museum was the 2 female security guards overseeing the special exhibit - instead of being attentive to the surroundings and guests, one security guard had her attention directed down to her phone while the other was just leaning against a doorway, head down, picking her teeth with a white dental tool the entire time we waited to try to get in to the room. Um Gross. With such intent given to providing a thoughtful inspiring space, If I were one of the sponsors of this very lovely museum, I would be appalled by the behavior of these staff members. We will return with hopes of seeing a performance and the exhibits again, and maybe better trained security members.
翻译:史密森尼国家亚洲艺术博物馆是一个安静且内省的博物馆。美丽的艺术作品和雕塑——非常愉快的参观,让人平静,不吵闹或压倒性的。进入后,咨询台指南很有帮助,提供了不同房间的概览 - 博物馆比我想象的要大。由于特别展览已满,我们无法进入,所以我们坐在外面享受室内花园区,即使在十二月,这也是令人愉快的休息。最不幸的是,分散了整个博物馆注意力的两名女保安正在监督这次特别展览——其中一名保安没有关注周围的环境和客人,而是把注意力集中在手机上,而另一名保安则只是靠在手机上。在我们等待试图进入房间的整个过程中,她低着头,用白色牙科工具剔牙。嗯,恶心。出于提供一个深思熟虑的启发空间的目的,如果我是这个非常可爱的博物馆的赞助商之一,我会对这些工作人员的行为感到震惊。我们将带着再次观看表演和展品的希望回来,也许还有训练有素的保安人员。
