点评:We wanted to see the Chihuly exhibit before it leaves the museum, although there is another location for his work in Seattle with the attendant parking and traffic issues. We chose the Tacoma exhibit because it features much of his best work within the building as well as outside in a roof reflection pond and the items in sealed glass enclosures on the pedestrian overpass. There is a lot of educational stuff at the beginning of your self guided tour through the inside museum. Once you are out of there and back into the reception area, you can choose to go outside to view additional exhibits and there is stair and ramp access to the skybridge pedestrian overpass with the wall of chihuly glass inside individual glass faced cubicles. Other options from the reception area is the live glass blowing demonstration, a store for glass items for sale and a snack bar. Although we saw 3 staff persons none of them answer the phone, you can only leave messages on their phone number. There is an elevator to take you to the roof exhibits if you are handicapped, but it must be activated by an attendant. Once you ride to the top the attendant turns the elevator off and the only want for you to get back down is via a ramp that has 4 switchbacks to take you down 1.5 stories. It is a hardship that we phoned the reception area to get the elevator turned back on, but of course you can only leave a message - no one will answer the phone. Parking is via a connected structure with elevator to the museum. This is probably our first and last visit.
翻译:我们想在奇胡利作品离开博物馆之前就去看看,尽管西雅图还有另一个地方展出他的作品,可能会带来停车和交通问题。我们选择塔科马的展览,因为那里展出了他许多最好的作品,除了馆内展出外,还有屋顶的倒影池和人行天桥上密封的玻璃罩。在博物馆内部自助游览的开始阶段,有很多教育性的内容。离开博物馆后,回到接待区,您可以选择到外面去观看其他展品,那里有楼梯和坡道通往天桥人行天桥,天桥上有独立的玻璃隔间,里面是奇胡利玻璃墙。从接待区出发,还有其他选择,例如观看现场吹玻璃演示、参观玻璃制品商店和去小吃店。虽然我们看到了3名工作人员,但他们都不接电话,您只能在他们的电话号码上留言。如果您是行动不便人士,可以乘坐电梯前往屋顶展览,但必须由工作人员启动。到达顶层后,工作人员会关掉电梯,你只能通过一个有四个“之”字形坡道下到1.5层楼。我们费了好大劲才打电话到接待处让电梯重新开通,但当然,你只能留言——电话肯定没人接。停车场通过一个连接着电梯的建筑物通往博物馆。这可能是我们第一次也是最后一次参观了。
