点评:I'm sure Southampton is a lovely place to live, but I found it an awful place to visit. The road signage was terrible, but when I finally found the art gallery I rather wish I hadn't. The gallery is upstairs from the library, and the main part is on the landing area. This feels a litttle like trying to appreciate art on a train station concourse. They've concentrated on modern and contemporary art here, though I have to say with not the best examples of each artists' work. When I visited 2 of the rooms were closed, which doesn't sound much, but there's only eight rooms in total, and there was no mention of this closure on the website. Most of the rest of the gallery was taken up with a temporary photography exhibiition of 'Faces of Southampton', which may be of interest to the locals but really not to a visitor. I paid for 2 hours at the car park, which in truth was about an hour and a half too much to see Southampton.
翻译:我确信南安普敦是一个宜居的地方,但我发现它是一个糟糕的旅游胜地。路标很糟糕,但当我最终找到艺术画廊时,我宁愿没有找到。画廊在图书馆楼上,主体部分在着陆区。这感觉有点像在火车站大厅欣赏艺术。他们在这里专注于现代和当代艺术,尽管我不得不说并不是每个艺术家作品的最佳例子。我去的时候有两个房间关门了,听起来没什么,但总共只有八个房间,而且网站上也没有提到这个关门的事。画廊的其余大部分空间都被“南安普敦的面孔”临时摄影展占据,当地人可能对此感兴趣,但游客却并不感兴趣。我在停车场付了两个小时的费用,事实上,游览南安普敦需要一个半小时左右的时间。
