点评:Went back to spend more time at Gallery after a full first day on theHop On/Hop Off tour the previous day that didn't allow enough time for the GPI internal shuttle and a tour of the gallery. Well worth the the visit.
The arts and crafts collection is the best I have seen in AVL - the fine pieces are exquisite and unique. I've visited many collections but didn't see things here that I had seen all over AVL. Granted, not all pieces are AVL artists but the Craftsman style is prevalent and well-executed. The staff is warm, friendly, helpful and very approachable, unlike other galleries. We'll go back again and again.
I will bring visitors and guests here when they are in town, not only for the gallery contents but also for the outside sculptures and the vistas. Great experience and unique items.
BTW, free admission, has adjacent free parking, and no traffic! In a serene setting.
翻译:前一天参加了随上随下观光巴士之旅,行程安排紧凑,没时间乘坐GPI的内部班车和参观画廊,所以第二天又回到画廊,好好逛了一圈。这次参观非常值得。
这里的艺术和手工艺品收藏是我在AVL见过的最好的——每一件作品都精美绝伦,独一无二。我参观过很多收藏馆,但在这里看到的都是我在AVL其他地方没见过的。当然,并非所有作品都出自AVL艺术家之手,但工艺美术风格在这里非常普遍,而且技法精湛。与其他画廊不同,这里的工作人员热情友好、乐于助人,而且非常平易近人。我们一定会一次又一次地光顾这里。
以后有朋友来AVL,我一定会带他们来这里,不仅是为了欣赏画廊里的藏品,也是为了欣赏外面的雕塑和美景。这是一次很棒的体验,能发现很多独特的藏品。
顺便说一句,这里免费入场,旁边就有免费停车场,而且交通便利!环境清幽宁静。
