点评:The Dorset Museum and Art Gallery is housed in a fine old refurbished building in the centre of Dorchester.
It is half a mile on foot from Dorchester South station.
We visited on the first day of the museum reopening after a winter break and it was quite busy.
There’s a wide range of interesting artefacts on display. Plenty of these relate to the nearby Jurassic Coast and I liked the Weymouth Bay Pliosaur and the Swanage Snapper.
I enjoyed the room containing Thomas Hardy memorabilia. Lots of manuscripts, photographs and paintings relating to the great author.
The current exhibition on show is called People Watching with a good selection of photography, paintings and sculptures, many of which have a local connection.
Some good sculptures and other art work by Elisabeth Frink plus some interesting paintings by Alfred Wallis and Christopher Wood.
I also liked the photographs of the likes of Tina Turner and Elton John.
With an Art Pass, admission is free.
However, general admission is quite expensive at £15.50 on the day or £13.95 if booked online in advance.

从多切斯特南站步行仅需半英里。
我们在博物馆冬歇期后重新开放的第一天参观了它,当时人很多。
馆内展出了各种各样有趣的文物。其中许多都与附近的侏罗纪海岸有关,我很喜欢韦茅斯湾的蛇颈龙和斯旺内奇的鲷鱼。
我很喜欢收藏托马斯·哈代纪念品的展厅。那里有很多与这位伟大作家相关的手稿、照片和绘画作品。
目前正在展出的展览名为“观察人群”,精选了一系列摄影作品、绘画和雕塑,其中许多都与当地有着密切的联系。
伊丽莎白·弗林克的一些精美雕塑和其他艺术作品,以及阿尔弗雷德·沃利斯和克里斯托弗·伍德的一些有趣的画作也值得一看。
我还很喜欢蒂娜·特纳和埃尔顿·约翰等人的照片。
持艺术通行证可免费入场。
然而,普通门票价格不菲,当日票价为 15.50 英镑,提前在线预订则为 13.95 英镑。
