点评:The exterior of the building might be off putting but the artifacts inside are worth a visit. There are some European examples and many from the Coney Island carvers and Philadelphia Toboggan Company There are also a number of pieces from the Fleer Collection on display The staff we were fortunate enough to meet were enthusiastic and friendly and proud of the beautiful carousel figures on display Unfortunately information was sketchy or missing altogether There was no printed materials offered ,no map or brochure and none minimal signage or photos of process to expound on what you were seeing We were told more extensive information on them will soon be available in digitized form which would be a huge help in appreciating the various pieces A highlight was the restoration workshop on the second floor The artisan there was a wealth of information and very willing to spend time explaining the craft
翻译:这座建筑的外观或许有些劝退效果,但里面的藏品绝对值得一观。有一些欧洲的范例,还有许多来自科尼岛的雕刻师以及费城雪橇公司创作的作品。此外,展览中还展出了弗勒尔收藏馆的若干藏品。我们很幸运能见到那里的工作人员,他们热情友好,也为展出的那些精美的旋转木马人偶深感自豪。遗憾的是,相关信息十分零散,甚至完全缺失;现场也没有提供任何印刷资料。没有地图或宣传册,也几乎没有任何标识或展示工艺过程的照片来帮助参观者了解所见到的事物。我们得知,关于这些展品的更详细资料很快就会以数字化形式发布,那将极大有助于我们欣赏每一件展品。最值得称道的是二楼的修复工作室——那里的工匠知识渊博,还非常乐意花时间向我们讲解相关工艺。
