点评:The Frick is a local treasure. They have a nice permanent collection and always have great rotating exhibits. For that reason, we decided to become members.
I also found out that they also have great regular programs and special events too. Members receive a discount, which is great. The topics sound really interesting. I'm looking forward to attending one.
We have seen so many great rotating exhibits over the years. I really love it when they have excellent art exhibits. The Vermeer exhibit a year or so ago was great. I read up about it before going and found out what a genius he really was with light. The latest exhibit French Moderns was a really good. I loved seeing all the classic artists you would expect in an exhibit like that. However, I found some other artists I had never heard of and was happy to learn about them. They were absolutely excellent. I also loved the Lewis Hine photography exhibit too. He did such a wonderful job capturing the real lives of immigrants and other hard working people from the last century. This perspective is desperately needed right now, as immigrants are often not painted in a positive light. This exhibit shone a light on how they really are and how hard they worked then and continue to work now. The 400 years of William Shakespeare exhibit was wonderful. It was so cool to see the original scripts. So interesting and different than other exhibits they have had! Another exhibit that was one of the best we have seen was the Katherine Hepburn exhibit. I loved learning all about her life, her loves, and all the fabulous clothes she wore throughout her amazing life.
The car and carriage museum is also a real find. It is so great to see the evolution of vehicles from the carriage to the car. It is so cool to see all different types of vehicles created over time especially those from the local area. There was also a cool hood ornament exhibit a few years ago that was really cool especially since cars don't have them anymore.
The greenhouse is always neat to see too. They have beautiful plants in and outside the greenhouse. I love seeing them grow and evolve over time. Then you go see the Clayton which is also a unique local gem. It's especially interesting to see this knowing how important the Fricks were to the local area professionally and personally. It's really great to see decorated at Christmas.
It’s a must visit when you come to Pittsburgh. They also offer reciprocity to other great museums all over the country.
翻译:弗里克艺术馆真是当地的瑰宝。那里有很棒的常设展览,还经常举办精彩的临时特展。正因如此,我们决定成为其会员。
我还了解到,他们定期举办各种精彩的活动与特别节目。会员还能享受折扣,这真是太好了。这些活动的主题听起来都特别有趣,我期待着能去参加一次。
多年来,我们观赏了无数精彩的临时展览。我尤其喜欢他们举办的那些高水平的艺术展。大约一年前举办的维米尔展览非常精彩。去之前我做了些功课,这才意识到他在光影运用方面真是天才。最近举办的“法国现代艺术家展”同样很棒。我很喜欢看到这类展览中那些耳熟能详的经典艺术家们的作品。不过,我还发现了一些从未听说过的艺术家,能了解到他们的作品真让人开心——他们的作品也绝对出色。另外,刘易斯·海因的摄影展我也非常喜欢。他出色地记录了上个世纪移民及其他勤劳人们的真实生活。如今,这种视角尤为必要,因为移民往往得不到正面的描绘。这个展览让我们看到了他们真实的面貌,以及他们过去和现在所付出的辛勤努力。关于威廉·莎士比亚的400周年纪念展览也棒极了,能看到那些原始手稿真是太酷了。真的非常有趣,也与其他展览截然不同!另一个让我们印象深刻的展览就是凯瑟琳·赫本专题展。我很喜欢了解她的一生、她的爱情故事,还有她在精彩人生中所穿过的那些华丽服饰。
汽车与马车博物馆也绝对值得一逛。能看到交通工具从马车发展到汽车的历程,真是太棒了。能看到历代出现的各种类型的车辆真是太酷了,尤其是那些产自本地的车款。几年前还举办过一场很棒的引擎盖装饰品展览,特别有意思,毕竟现在的汽车已经不再配备这类装饰了。
温室也总是值得一看。温室内外都种着美丽的植物,我喜欢观察它们随着时间慢慢生长、变化的过程。之后再去看看克莱顿车展吧,那也是当地一处独具特色的景点呢。考虑到弗里克家族在职业层面和个人层面上对当地所产生的重要影响,能见到这样的景象尤为有意思。看到它在圣诞节期间装点一新,真让人欣喜不已。
来匹兹堡的话,这里绝对是必游之地。此外,他们还与其他全国各地的优秀博物馆实行互惠参观政策。
