点评:With some extra time during a day of tourism in the area, I decided to visit the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. It received strong reviews in a couple of the tourist books I had referenced.
I enjoy visits to art museums - but enjoy some contemporary flat arts less than older works and some modern spatial art. Most of the museum space seemed dedicated to rotating exhibits of contemporary flat art, and I did not find the works in those exhibits compelling. Obviously, with the strong reviews this museum garners, my reaction reflects my choosing to visit a museum that didn't align well with my perhaps plebian tastes.
The point of my review is: If you have high confidence that you will like contemporary southern art, then go here. I think it would be a particularly good resource for someone who enjoyed such art and lived in the area. If you are visiting New Orleans from out of state, have finite time/budget, and are uncertain about whether such art appeals to you, then you should definitely preview the exhibits online first to see if they look like they will resonate with you.
翻译:在对该地区进行一日游时,由于有些空闲时间,我决定去参观奥格登南方艺术博物馆。在我参考的几本旅游指南中,该博物馆都获得了很高的评价。
我喜欢参观艺术博物馆——不过相较于较古老的作品以及某些现代空间艺术,我对当代平面艺术的兴趣稍逊一筹。博物馆的大部分空间似乎都用来举办各类当代平面艺术巡回展览,但那些展品并未吸引我的兴趣。显然如此。鉴于这家博物馆获得了诸多好评,我的反应其实反映出我选择去参观一家并不完全符合我这种或许较为普通的审美偏好的博物馆。
我写此评论的目的在于:如果你坚信自己会喜欢南方的当代艺术,那么就去这里吧。我觉得对于那些喜欢此类艺术且就住在当地的人来说,这里会是个绝佳的去处。但如果你是从州外来到新奥尔良旅游,且时间和预算都有限的话。如果你不确定这类艺术作品是否合你的口味,那么绝对应该先在网上预览一下展品,看看它们是否能引起你的共鸣。
