点评:Worcester is not a big city, and its museum and art gallery are not large. But inside this attractive red brick very late Victorian building is something very special. Worcester's institution has managed to combine the very best of "traditional" museums and galleries with the best of modern approaches. It has a name which tells you what it expect - it is a municipal art gallery and museum, containing objects which have been acquired on behalf of the people of Worcester for many years. There's no attempt to duplicate what is being done elsewhere - the city has a porcelain museum, and Elgar's birthplace is just down the road in Broadheath. There is plenty about Worcestershire Sauce, and an excellent exhibition of art. Don't expect to see the entire Permanent Collection of artworks. You'll see an interesting selection together with pieces temporarily on loan from elsewhere. The only section which looked a bit sad was the military collection, but I was told that has its future in another building which will free up space to display more from the permanent collection.
I must mention the Balcony Café. Kept simple and well done as a result.
The gallery and museum are on the first floor. Lift access is available round the corner in Taylor's Lane.
翻译:伍斯特不是一个大城市,它的博物馆和美术馆也不大。但在这座迷人的红砖维多利亚晚期建筑内,有一些非常特别的东西。伍斯特的机构成功地将最好的“传统”博物馆和画廊与最好的现代方法结合起来。它的名字就告诉了你它的期望——它是一个市立艺术画廊和博物馆,里面藏着多年来代表伍斯特人民收购的物品。我们并没有试图复制其他地方正在做的事情——这座城市有一个瓷器博物馆,而埃尔加的出生地就在布罗德希斯 (Broadheath) 的路上。这里有很多关于伍斯特郡酱的知识,还有精彩的艺术展览。不要指望看到整个永久收藏的艺术品。您会看到有趣的选择以及从其他地方临时借来的作品。唯一看起来有点悲伤的部分是军事收藏,但有人告诉我,它的未来将在另一座建筑中,这将腾出空间来展示更多的永久收藏。
我必须提到阳台咖啡厅。结果保持简单并且做得很好。
画廊和博物馆位于一楼。泰勒巷 (Taylor's Lane) 拐角处设有电梯。
