点评:We turned up at the museum to a beautiful entrance, with stunning carved buildings, and initially everything looked very positive. Unfortunately, that was where the positives ended for us.
We were advised immediately that it was cash only, despite there being a card machine on site, which was rather frustrating.
The biggest disappointment, however, was the condition of the artwork and the museum itself. The paintings are in very poor condition — many are extremely faded, and there is even visible mould growing on some of the pieces. There is also evidence of what appears to be rat droppings above some of the paintings, which is incredibly concerning and can only contribute to further deterioration of these precious works.
On closer inspection, the maintenance of the buildings is also very poor. What initially looks beautiful from the entrance becomes noticeably more run-down as you explore further, with the buildings clearly showing signs of neglect. Given the historical and cultural importance of the property, this is incredibly disappointing.
There is very little information provided about the individual artworks or Le Mayeur’s life. His biography is essentially presented on a single sheet of A4, which feels completely inadequate given the fascinating history behind the artist, his work and his home.
And this is such a shame, because the artwork itself is beautiful, intricate and incredibly special. It is heartbreaking to see Le Mayeur’s life’s work and the home he shared with Ni Pollok slowly deteriorating after they donated their home to the government.
Considering the relatively high entrance fee, I would expect the buildings, grounds and, most importantly, the artwork to be maintained to a much higher standard. It is also surprisingly difficult to know exactly what forms part of the museum, as signage is very limited.
Sanur has undergone so much improvement and beautification, which makes the condition of this important piece of its history even more disappointing. This should be a real cultural treasure for Sanur and Bali, but sadly it currently feels neglected.
Also no ticket or brochure provided
翻译:我们来到博物馆时,被其精美的入口和雕刻精美的建筑所吸引,起初一切看起来都十分不错。可惜,对我们来说,这样的好景也就仅此而已了。
我们立刻被告知只能使用现金支付,尽管现场其实有刷卡机,这实在令人沮丧。
不过最让我们失望的还是艺术品以及博物馆本身的状况。那些画作保存状况极差——许多都严重褪色了。有些画作上甚至长了明显的霉菌。还有一些画作上方有类似老鼠粪便的痕迹,这一情况令人极为担忧,只会加速这些珍贵艺术品的损坏进程。
仔细观察后会发现,这些建筑物的维护状况也极其糟糕。从入口处看似乎挺美观的,但往里走就会发现它们明显破败不堪,到处都是疏于打理的痕迹。考虑到这座建筑在历史和文化上的重要性,这种情况实在令人失望至极。
关于馆内各件艺术品以及勒·梅厄的生平,所提供的资料少得可怜。关于他的生平介绍仅出现在一张A4纸上,考虑到这位艺术家、他的作品及其居所背后那段引人入胜的历史,这样的介绍显然远远不够。
这实在可惜,因为那些艺术品本身美丽、精致,而且无比珍贵。看到勒梅厄毕生的心血之作,以及他与尼·波洛克共同居住的家园,在他们将房子捐赠给政府后逐渐破败不堪,实在令人心碎。
考虑到相对较高的入场费,我原本期望这里的建筑、庭院,以及最重要的艺术品都能得到更高标准的维护。然而,由于指示牌极少,要准确了解哪些内容属于博物馆的展示范围也出乎意料地困难。
萨努尔如今已经发生了许多改善与美化。这使得这段重要历史遗迹的现状更加令人失望。它本应是萨努尔和巴厘岛真正的文化瑰宝,可惜如今却显得遭到冷落。
