点评:I was very much looking forward to attending Tate St. Ives, allowing myself 1.5 hours to walk through. Sadly, I found the Tate St. Ives experience very disappointing. Whilst I don't object to paying for entry to an art gallery, I do object to paying £15.50 (inc. gift aid) for a gallery that is 50% closed for an installation, and only seeing 30-40 pieces of work. As a guide, I spent 30 minutes in this gallery last Wednesday.
As per the previous review, I was on holiday for two days and I had one opportunity to attend the gallery. There was no discount for the part closure or even an invitation to freely attend the Barbara Hepworth gallery (also under the Tate banner) in exchange for the part closure.
The staff were very welcoming and informative. I was told the gallery was partially closed for the new Wilhelmina Barns-Graham exhibition opening on Saturday. However, having not been to the gallery before I did not understand how much I would not see as a result. With hindsight I genuinely wouldn't have bothered on this occasion. There are plenty of free to enter art collections around town and fabulous local artist to enjoy. The Hepworth gallery would have been better value for money on this occasion, but given I had already spent the money to enter the Tate St. Ives, I didn't fancy spending an additional £10 to do that too.
In my opinion, if you are a Tate Member going to Tate St. Ives and Barbara Hepworth would be nice things to do. Otherwise, save your money and enjoy the local area instead!
翻译:我一直十分期待能去泰特圣艾夫斯美术馆参观,还特意预留了1.5个小时来慢慢游览。可惜的是,这次参观体验实在令人失望。虽然我不反对为进入艺术馆付费,但对于一座有一半展区因装置艺术而闭馆、只能看到30至40件作品的美术馆,却要支付15.50英镑(含捐赠税),我就实在无法接受了。作为参考,上周三我在该美术馆仅停留了30分钟。
与之前的评论所述一致。我休假了两天,期间只有一次机会可以参观美术馆。对于部分闭馆的情况,美术馆并未提供任何折扣,甚至也没有发出可以免费参观芭芭拉·赫普沃斯美术馆(同样隶属于泰特美术馆体系)的邀请。
工作人员非常热情且乐于解答问题。他们告诉我,由于周六即将举办威廉明娜·巴恩斯-格雷厄姆的新展览,所以美术馆部分区域暂时闭馆。不过……由于之前从未去过那家画廊,我并不明白自己会错失多少展品。事后看来,这次我其实根本没必要去。城里有很多免费开放的艺术展览,也有许多出色的本地艺术家作品值得欣赏。就性价比而言,赫普沃斯画廊这次会是个更好的选择;不过既然我已经花钱购买了泰特圣艾夫斯美术馆的门票,也就不想再额外花10英镑去那儿了。
在我看来……如果你是泰特美术馆的会员,那么去泰特圣艾夫斯美术馆参观以及欣赏芭芭拉·赫普沃斯的作品都是很不错的选择。否则,还是省下这笔钱,好好享受当地的风景吧!
