点评:How is this free :) What a treat. Address doesn't make sense - it's actually on the campus in a little park like setting and you will end up on busy Lindell where place is not visible - I had to walk into a museum nearby for directions. Once there however, simply lovely. The first floor especially is decorated with everything you could imagine in a robber baron castle. Although that term isn't really appropriate, Cupples was socially conscious and a real benefactor to St. Louis. Still, for a family of three - that's a lot of house. Third floor is mostly display space rather than restored rooms, but interesting items (and, I noticed, I have two of their pottery pieces at home, lol) Lady manning the desk willing to answer general questions - probably a student (?) Helpful booklet discussing rooms, objects, history etc., and since this isn't heavily trafficked you can easily find a nook to sit and read it; the front bay suggests itself - with non-roped off settees. If you enjoy this sort of thing and especially if you appreciate being able to wonder at leisure (yes please!) this is a great experience.
翻译:这是免费的吗?:) 真是令人惊喜。地址有些不太准确——它实际上位于校园内一个类似小公园的地方,不过你最终会走到热闹的林德尔大道上,从那里是看不到这个地方的。我不得不走进附近的一家博物馆询问方向。不过一旦找到地方,就会发现它美极了。尤其是一楼,布置得宛如一座大亨城堡里能想象到的一切陈设。虽然“大亨城堡”这个说法不太恰当,但卡普尔斯具有社会责任感,是圣路易斯真正的慷慨捐助者。话虽如此……对于三口之家来说,这房子可真够大的。三楼大多是展示区,并非复原后的房间,但陈列着不少有趣的物品(顺便说一句,我发现家里也有两件他们制作的陶器,哈哈)。接待处的女士乐于回答各类问题——大概是个学生吧(?)。这里还有一本介绍各个房间、展品及历史背景的实用小册子;由于游客不多,你可以轻松找到一个角落坐下阅读;前面的凸窗区域就是绝佳选择——那里有无需绕绳隔离的沙发呢。如果你喜欢这类事物,尤其如果你乐于悠闲地沉浸其中、细细品味(当然要这样啦!),那么这绝对是一次很棒的体验。
