点评:I spent the morning and afternoon at The Met Cloisters, taking the Garden Tour which was wonderful on a sunny day with the gardens in bloom and then touring the new exhibition ‘Mythical Creatures’.
I highly recommend the Garden Tour on a warm sunny morning. The docent we had was so informative and took us through all three Cloisters and some of the art displays to show the development and use of these gardens in the Middle Ages not just for medical purposes but for religious and pleasure. The museum does such a nice job maintaining the gardens and the docent explained how each garden had a purpose and why they were grown. Not just that but they were so beautiful to look at.
After the tour, I viewed the new ‘Mythical Creatures’ exhibition which was fascinating the views society had with the discovery of the Americas. Native societies had their own views of the unknown and mysticism and it showed in all the unusual creatures that were on display.
I really enjoyed my morning at the museum.

我强烈推荐大家在温暖晴朗的早晨参加花园之旅。我们的讲解员知识渊博,带领我们参观了三个回廊以及一些艺术展品,向我们展示了中世纪花园的发展和用途——不仅用于医疗,也用于宗教和休闲娱乐。博物馆在维护花园方面做得非常出色,讲解员解释了每个花园的用途以及种植它们的原因。不仅如此,这些花园本身也美不胜收。
参观结束后,我参观了新展览“神话生物”,展览精彩纷呈,展现了美洲发现后社会的种种看法。美洲原住民对未知事物和神秘主义有着独特的见解,这在展出的各种奇特生物中体现得淋漓尽致。
我非常享受在博物馆的这个上午。
