点评:The Philadelphia Museum of Art is situated in the Fairmount area of the city.
We took the 38 bus from near Jefferson station which was a relatively short ride.
The museum is housed in a fine building which was made famous in one of the ‘Rocky’ films.
We started by viewing an exhibition of photography which included examples by the likes of Irving Penn and Cindy Sherman.
Although the section displaying more recent American art was closed, I enjoyed the 17th century work on show.
In particular, paintings by Charles Wilson Peale and his offspring, as well as Benjamin West and John Singleton Copley.
The highlight of the museum for me was the extensive Impressionist and Post Impressionist works on display.
Monet, Manet, Van Gogh, Degas, Pissarro, Renoir, Sisley, Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt to name but a few.
I also liked individual works by Peter Doig, Joaquin Sorolla and a sculpture by Alexander Calder of William Penn.
I paid $28 for over 65 admission, The regular fee is $30.
The museum is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
翻译:费城艺术博物馆位于市区费尔蒙特区。
我们从杰斐逊车站附近乘坐38路公交车,路程相对较短。
博物馆坐落在一栋精美的建筑内,这座建筑因《洛奇》系列电影而闻名。
我们首先参观了一个摄影展,其中包括欧文·佩恩和辛迪·舍曼等人的作品。
虽然展示美国近代艺术的部分已经关闭,但我还是很喜欢展出的17世纪作品。
尤其是查尔斯·威尔逊·皮尔及其后代,以及本杰明·韦斯特和约翰·辛格尔顿·科普利的画作。
对我来说,博物馆的亮点是展出的大量印象派和后印象派作品。
莫奈、马奈、梵高、德加、毕沙罗、雷诺阿、西斯莱、贝尔特·莫里索和玛丽·卡萨特等等,不一而足。
我还喜欢彼得·多伊格、华金·索罗拉的个人作品,以及亚历山大·考尔德为威廉·佩恩创作的雕塑。
我支付了28美元的65岁以上人士入场费,普通门票是30美元。
博物馆周二和周三闭馆。
