点评:This medium size museum, focused on Spanish art is a true hidden gem. Located on the SMU campus, the Meadows Museum has a strong focus on Spanish art over an extensive period of time. The collections encompass all periods and signage is intellectually rigorous. I really appreciated the curators’ audio descriptions of multiple masterpieces - humorous, insightful, and far from condescending. Notable pieces from Velazquez (a Sibyl), El Greco (St. Francis), Picasso, Juan Gris , Joan Miro (a novel take on portraiture with Queen Louise of Prussia), and a sculpture by Aristide Maillol made the museum for me!
Additional Note - Friendly, yet professional guard at museum!
Tip For Visitors - Plenty of free parking under the museum! Enter off of Schlegel Street. Elevators to the main floor.
翻译:这家规模适中的博物馆专注于西班牙艺术,堪称一颗隐藏的瑰宝。梅多斯博物馆位于南卫理公会大学(SMU)校园内,重点展示西班牙艺术各个时期的作品。馆藏涵盖所有时期,展品说明也严谨易懂。我尤其欣赏策展人对多件杰作的语音讲解——幽默风趣、见解深刻,而且丝毫没有居高临下的感觉。委拉斯凯兹(《女先知》)、埃尔·格列柯(《圣方济各》)、毕加索、胡安·格里斯、胡安·米罗(他为普鲁士路易丝王后创作的肖像画别具一格)以及阿里斯蒂德·马约尔的雕塑作品,都让我对这家博物馆印象深刻!
补充说明:博物馆的保安人员既友好又专业!
参观小贴士:博物馆地下停车场提供充足的免费停车位!入口位于施莱格尔街。有电梯直达主楼层。
