点评:Our friends had recommended the Maryhill Museum of Art so on a recent trip from Spokane to Portland, we added it to our itinerary. We were glad we did. The museum is house in an old mansion built by Sam Hill. There is free off-street parking on the site. The grounds offer spectacular views, places to picnic and walk, and a number of outdoor sculptures. Our fee was $13 per senior. We went early in the morning and virtually had the place to ourselves. The museum offers one of the most eclectic collections we had ever encountered. The main floor exhibit is items from the royal family of Romania. There is an amazing collection of indigenous art including a wide selection of baskets. There was a special exhibit of chess sets from around the world. One of the most fascinating exhibits was post WWII fashion designs made for small mannequins due to the shortage of material and supplies. Regional artists are also featured including an exhibit of art by teachers. The museum has a gift shop and is located very close to the Stonehenge memorial. We would recommend this museum as a destination stop for anyone in the area.
翻译:我们的朋友推荐了玛丽希尔艺术博物馆,所以在最近从斯波坎到波特兰的旅行中,我们将其添加到了我们的行程中。我们很高兴我们这么做了。博物馆位于山姆·希尔建造的一座老宅邸内。现场有免费的路边停车位。场地享有壮观的景色,有野餐和散步的地方,还有许多户外雕塑。我们的费用是每位老人 13 美元。我们一大早就去了,几乎独享了这个地方。博物馆提供了我们见过的最不拘一格的收藏品之一。主楼层的展品是罗马尼亚王室的物品。这里有令人惊叹的土著艺术收藏,包括各种各样的篮子。有一个特别的展览,展出了来自世界各地的国际象棋。最迷人的展品之一是二战后由于材料和用品短缺而为小模特制作的时装设计。还展出了地区艺术家的作品,包括教师的艺术作品。博物馆有一家礼品店,非常靠近巨石阵纪念馆。我们推荐这个博物馆作为该地区任何人的目的地。
