点评:A very nice small version museum with notable works of art. The collections all seem to be very serene and beautiful in their presentation throughout, rather than strange, disturbing or disruptive as in other museums. As a result it gives the visitor a positive impression, almost therapeutic. It's a great museum to spend a couple hours browsing. There is small children's toy collection on the Ground Floor. Would love for this to be expanded for Christmas in a larger exhibition. The antique toys are all fascinating. The first floor features much of the main collections of colonial furniture and decorative arts, American paintings and sculpture. The American impressionists and post impressionist works were great examples and included famous artist like Hassam and Sargent - very beautiful and important works. The galleries that touch on periods of art nouveau and deco also were nicely curated and displayed. The upstairs featured new exhibits that were okay. More appealing was the Tiffany gallery with many examples of the stained glass and lighting and decorative arts Louis Comfort Tiffany created. The price is okay. The parking is free. Unfortunately there is no cafe. There is a nice research library. The museum features park areas with sculpture in a very serene setting.
翻译:一个非常漂亮的小型博物馆,里面有著名的艺术品。这些藏品在整个展示过程中似乎都非常宁静和美丽,而不是像其他博物馆那样奇怪、令人不安或具有破坏性。结果,它给访客留下了积极的印象,几乎具有治疗作用。这是一个很棒的博物馆,值得花几个小时浏览。一楼有小型儿童玩具收藏。希望在圣诞节期间能在更大的展览中扩大这一范围。古董玩具都让人着迷。一楼展示了殖民时期家具和装饰艺术、美国绘画和雕塑的大部分主要收藏品。美国印象派和后印象派作品就是很好的例子,其中包括像哈萨姆和萨金特这样的著名艺术家——非常美丽和重要的作品。涉及新艺术和装饰时期的画廊也经过精心策划和展示。楼上有新的展品,还不错。更吸引人的是蒂芙尼画廊,里面有许多路易斯·康福特·蒂芙尼创作的彩色玻璃、灯光和装饰艺术的例子。价格还可以。停车免费。不幸的是没有咖啡馆。有一个很好的研究图书馆。博物馆设有公园区,环境非常宁静,内有雕塑。
