The Favell Museum Native American Artifacts and Contemporary Western Art的点评

点评：We were not planning on stopping in Klamath Falls, but a trusted friend told us to check out this private museum and we were glad to have followed her advice. Half the venue is dedicated to "western art" but they were in the midst of prepping for a new show so it was temporarily off-limits; this was fine, really, because I'm not a big fan of themed art -- though, some of the paintings I saw were rather good. The other half of the museum is Native American Artifacts, of which they have an astonishing collection, all of it nicely presented. Klamath Falls was home to many tribes for as much as 11,000 years so this region (once abundantly stocked with fish, as well as Native Americans) has yielded a trove of materials. The arrow-points and spear-points alone are breathtaking. One of the museum walls is thoroughly composed of the stone mortars, pestles and metates which they dug up JUST ON THIS SITE when they were building the museum itself! The exhibits are informative and sensitively described, including some typos and howlers, so I felt I learned quite a bit just in the hour or so we spent here. I would append a photo or two, but photography was not permitted.

翻译：我们原本并不打算在克拉马斯福尔斯停留，但一位值得信赖的朋友建议我们去看看这家私人博物馆，我们很庆幸听从了她的建议。博物馆的一半展区专门展示“西部艺术”，不过当时他们正在为一场新展览做准备，因此该区域暂时不对游客开放；其实这也无妨，因为我并不太喜欢主题类艺术——不过我看到的几幅画作倒是不错。博物馆的另一半展区则陈列着美洲原住民的各类文物。馆内收藏品数量惊人，且都陈列得井然有序。克勒马思福尔斯地区曾是众多部落的聚居地，历史可追溯到1.1万年前；这片曾经鱼类资源丰富、也是原住民家园的土地上，出土了大量珍贵文物。单是那些箭头和矛头就已令人叹为观止。博物馆的一面墙完全由石制研钵、研杵以及磨石构成——这些可都是他们在建造博物馆时就在此地发掘出来的！这些展品介绍内容详实且描述细致，其中还提到了一些拼写错误和疏漏之处，因此在我们在这里停留的一个小时左右时间里，我觉得自己学到了不少东西。我本想附上一两张照片，但这里禁止拍照。
