点评:I wasn't sure if the Georgia O'Keeffe Home & Studio Tour would be worth the ticket price. It certainly was! Our guide was Laura, and she was so knowledgeable and engaging. It was special to see the home, garden, courtyards, and studio, & imagine what it was like when Georgia O'Keeffe lived here. I loved all the stories about her - they made Georgia a real person, not just a famous artist.
One moment that I will remember: When we were in the studio, Laura held up a print of one of O'Keeffe's paintings - the painting was the beautiful view of the countryside that we were seeing out the windows at that very second.
Some tips: 1) Dress for the weather - our tour was on a very warm day, and the shuttle bus and home were not air conditioned. 2) Buy tickets well in advance - if you don't see ticket availability, continue to check since there could be cancellations. 3) Allow enough time to see the displays at the Welcome Center. 4) Enjoy a meal at Café Abiquiu - we've always been served good food here. 5) An unexpected treat for us was the sculpture garden on the grounds of the adjoining Abiquiu Inn.
翻译:我原本不确定参加乔治亚·奥基夫故居及工作室导览是否物有所值。结果绝对物超所值!我们的导游是劳拉,她学识渊博且风趣幽默。能够参观她的住宅、花园、庭院以及工作室,还能想象乔治亚·奥基夫当年在此生活的情形,真是特别的体验。我喜欢听到的所有关于她的故事——它们让乔治亚变得鲜活起来,而不只是一个著名的艺术家。
有一个场景我至今记忆犹新:当我们身处工作室里时……劳拉举起一张奥基夫的画作印刷品——那幅画描绘的正是我们此时透过窗户所看到的美丽乡村景色。
一些小贴士:1) 根据天气着装——我们参观的那天天气非常暖和,而穿梭巴士和博物馆内都没有空调。2) 提前购票——如果暂时看不到可购票源,请继续刷新页面查看,因为可能会有退票情况。3) 留出足够时间参观游客中心的展览。4) 去Café Abiquiu享用一顿吧——我们在这里从来都能吃到美味的食物。5) 让我们惊喜不已的是毗邻的Abiquiu Inn庭院里的雕塑花园。
