点评:Tallinn is the most intriguing place architecturally, from many points of view. I learned here, for instance, that the large wooden apartment buildings, which may be homogenous in their structure but heterogenous in their visible and individually charming details, are called "Tallinn maja" (Tallinn House), according to a placard at the museum.
This time I concentrated mainly on the temporary exhibition, though, and decided to return later to study the permanent exhibition more closely.
The temporary exhibition, that I warmly recommend to visit, was about the large scale architecture built right before the 1980 Moscow Olympics in Tallinn, where the sailing competition was located.
It was also about the sporty and dynamic spirit of the Tallinn regatta, and about the reactions, attitudes and long lasting impacts the olympics had on Tallinn and its self image.
For instance the (still) highest building of Estonia, the TV tower, which was so important in 1991, was built in this very phase of history. Lots of nationally and culturally important efforts were made at the time, and understanding this history helps understand Tallinn better.
I am looking forward to the publishing of the exhibition book! The customer service was excellent.
The museum building itself is also well known, and we saw that it has recently got a very interesting new neighboring building, Golden Gate, in the very vicinity. In my eyes, the large postmodern yellow house suits surprisingly well the much older stone building, the nationally significant architectural museum.
翻译:从许多角度来看,塔林的建筑风格都令人着迷。例如,我在这里了解到,博物馆的标语牌上写着,那些大型木制公寓楼被称为“塔林之家”(Tallinn maja),它们的结构看似同质,但其可见且各具特色的迷人细节却又异质。
不过,这次我主要参观了临时展览,并决定稍后再回来更仔细地研究常设展览。
我强烈推荐参观的临时展览,是关于1980年莫斯科奥运会前夕在塔林建造的大型建筑,当时帆船比赛就在这里举行。
它还展现了塔林帆船赛的运动精神和活力,以及奥运会对塔林及其自身形象的反响、态度和持久影响。
例如,爱沙尼亚(至今)最高的建筑——电视塔,在1991年意义非凡,正是在这段历史时期建造的。当时,人们做出了许多具有国家和文化意义的贡献,了解这段历史有助于更好地理解塔林。
我期待着展览图册的出版!客户服务非常棒。
博物馆本身也很有名,而且我们发现它附近最近新建了一座非常有趣的相邻建筑——金门。在我看来,这座后现代风格的黄色建筑与这座更古老的石头建筑——具有全国意义的建筑博物馆——意外地相得益彰。
