点评:This is a hidden gem in Ormond Beach. Stopped in here and I was pleasantly surprised. Arrived shortly after opening and the museum and gardens were quiet. There is a nominal admission fee but the museum and gardens are well worth it.
The current display of upcycled objects by Jeff Schofield was intriguing, unique and spectacular. It brings to light the disposable society which has been created. Other works of art are on display as well.
Don't forget to pick up a brochure of Art Imitates Life II Beyond the Bronze, the Seward Johnson Sculpture Tour. These life size sculptures are extremely detailed and most interesting. Several are within walking distance of the museum.
The outdoor gardens are well maintained, peaceful and provide an opportunity to sit at various benches throughout the gardens and reflect. The gardens provide a calmness and restful environment (even though it is located in close proximity to busy Granada Blvd.) The turtle pond is active with various species of turtles. A look at the cluster of bamboo and its great height as well as various other foliage.
Great museum and from my understanding the art displays change periodically.
The museum does have complimentary parking available just south of Granada Blvd. behind the gardens.
Would highly recommend and I will return again.
翻译:这是奥蒙德海滩的一处隐藏宝藏。我偶然造访此地,结果惊喜不已。我是在博物馆开馆后不久到的,当时馆内和花园里都十分安静。虽然需要支付少量的入场费,但博物馆和花园绝对物超所值。
目前展出的杰夫·斯科菲尔德用回收材料创作的作品十分引人入胜、独具特色且令人叹为观止。这些作品深刻揭示了当今社会“一次性用品文化”的现状。此外,馆内还陈列着其他各类艺术作品。别忘了领取《艺术模仿生活II:青铜之外》宣传册,这是苏厄德·约翰逊雕塑巡礼的介绍资料。这些等身大小的雕塑做工极为精细,十分有趣。其中有几座雕塑距离博物馆仅几步之遥。
户外花园维护得很好,环境宁静,游客可以坐在园中的各个长椅上静心沉思。这座花园营造出一种宁静祥和的氛围(尽管它紧邻热闹的格拉纳达大道)。龟池里有许多不同种类的乌龟在活动。再看看那片高耸入云的竹林以及其他各种植物吧。
这是一座很棒的博物馆,据我所知,馆内的艺术品展览会定期更换。
博物馆在格拉纳达大道以南、花园后面设有免费停车场。强烈推荐,我还会再来的。
