One of the Best Museums in California if You are Interested in California Art and History
Hilbert Museum of California Art的点评
点评:This little hidden gem of a museum in the cute downtown of Orange, California was an absolute find and is probably my new favorite California museum. It has an enormous permanent collection of 19th, 20th and 21st century California art in all sorts of media, but mostly painting. The day we visited they had about five different shows mounted ranging from photorealism to orange crate commercial art to plein air landscapes to women painters and portraits. It is housed in two small building associated with Chapman University. The docents were enthusiastic ladies to say the least. I really enjoyed the interpretation which was more than esoteric art theory but told a story about the artist and each painting. The museum is free but you can donate. I was amazed how much art was on display in such a small space. They had ten times more art than the monstrosity of a building of the Orange County Museum of Art down the road in Santa Ana.
翻译:这个位于加利福尼亚州奥兰治市中心的隐藏小宝藏博物馆绝对是个绝佳的发现,可能是我最喜欢的加利福尼亚博物馆。它收藏了 19 世纪、20 世纪和 21 世纪的加利福尼亚艺术品,这些艺术品以各种媒体形式呈现,但主要是绘画。我们参观的那天,他们举办了大约五场不同的展览,从照相写实主义到橙色板条箱商业艺术,从露天风景到女性画家和肖像。它位于查普曼大学的两栋小楼里。讲解员至少可以说是热情的女士。我真的很喜欢这种解读,它不仅仅是深奥的艺术理论,还讲述了艺术家和每幅画的故事。博物馆是免费的,但你可以捐款。我很惊讶在这么小的空间里展出了这么多艺术品。他们的艺术品比圣安娜路上的奥兰治县艺术博物馆的丑陋建筑多十倍。
