点评:I visited the museum in the evening and that is certainly a good time for a visit. The museum is open until 9 p.m. Upon entrance I heard music and the vibe was event-like. Since I had the ambition to visit all 4 floors, I rushed on. So on I went to the cellar, where the Bronze Age exhibits are. There I experienced a minor frustration since none of the explanations were in English, all in French. It’s not that hard to do a translation, I felt. A matter of attitude. On the next floor where the Egyptian, Roman and Greek objects were, the French I took in school started to come back to me and I thought- maybe it’s not bad at all, but a welcome refreshment of my extremely rusty French. The display itself was very well done and excellent explanations once I decided to get over the language barrier. A lot of focus on Bacchus and some on Priape, which I thought went well with the vibe.
On the top floor there are excellent Byzantine works, but the real highlight was a surprise tango dance show taking place in some of the exhibition rooms. It was such an unexpected treat that I did not expect at all and it certainly compensated for hanging a Van Gogh far too high to appreciate. Upon leaving it became evident there is a bar in the courtyard with quite good, if loud, music. 25 years ago I would have welcomed an opportunity to have a fun night, but I need my sleep so off I went. Loved the approach though, why waste the space for geeky museum-goers when you can use it much more diversely. So I recommend a visit, although I have no idea if these extras are on frequently or not and whether they have a house dj. I hope thy do. The aversion towards translating was more than compensated with musical endeavours.
翻译:我在晚上参观了博物馆,这绝对是参观的好时机。博物馆开放至晚上 9 点。一进门我就听到了音乐,氛围就像是一场盛会。由于我雄心勃勃,想参观所有 4 层楼,所以我匆匆忙忙地去了。于是我去了地下室,那里有青铜时代的展品。在那里,我感到有点沮丧,因为所有的解释都不是英文的,都是法文。我觉得翻译并不难。这只是态度问题。在下一层,那里有埃及、罗马和希腊的文物,我在学校学过的法语开始浮现在我的脑海里,我想——也许这根本不坏,但对我非常生疏的法语来说,这是一种令人欣慰的提神剂。一旦我决定克服语言障碍,展览本身就做得很好,解释也很棒。很多焦点都集中在巴克斯身上,还有一些集中在普里阿普身上,我认为这与氛围很相配。
顶层有出色的拜占庭作品,但真正的亮点是一些展厅里上演的惊喜探戈舞蹈表演。这真是一个意想不到的惊喜,我完全没有想到,这当然弥补了挂在太高而无法欣赏的梵高画作的遗憾。离开时,我发现院子里有一个酒吧,音乐很好听,虽然声音很大。25 年前,我很乐意有机会度过一个愉快的夜晚,但我需要睡觉,所以我去了。不过,我喜欢这种方式,为什么要浪费空间给那些古怪的博物馆参观者,而你可以更多样化地使用它。所以我建议去参观,虽然我不知道这些额外服务是否经常播放,也不知道他们是否有驻场 DJ。我希望他们有。对翻译的厌恶被音乐的努力所弥补。
