点评:Museum is a highlight of Norfolk cultural scene, but we were very disappointed this time. Out of the blue, the Museum cancelled its daily 2 pm tours. The only option is an 11 am tour, that none of us could take. We work in the morning, and others travel from out of town. The only day when a 2 pm tour is available is Sunday, because the museum opens at noon. I am not sure why the museum does not care about patrons who have jobs, families, and other morning obligations. These tours are usually very informative and memorable so it’s a shame that the museum just did away with them. Some signature art pieces were not on display, such as Picasso and the famous Mary Cassatt painting, to name a few, and no one knew why they were gone, and most importantly, when or whether they would come back. We felt this time that the museum is not managed well and is quite chaotic.
翻译:博物馆是诺福克文化界的一大亮点,但这次我们非常失望。博物馆突然取消了每天下午 2 点的游览。唯一的选择是上午 11 点的游览,但我们都没能参加。我们早上上班,其他人从城外赶来。只有周日才有下午 2 点的游览,因为博物馆中午开放。我不知道为什么博物馆不关心有工作、家庭和其他上午义务的顾客。这些游览通常非常有教育意义和令人难忘,所以博物馆取消它们真是太可惜了。一些标志性的艺术作品没有展出,例如毕加索和著名的玛丽·卡萨特画作,仅举几例,没有人知道它们为什么消失了,最重要的是,没有人知道它们什么时候会回来或是否会回来。这次我们觉得博物馆管理不善,相当混乱。
