点评:The Museum of Western Art is on the outskirts of Kerrvile, a short drive from the centre. Plenty of on-site parking. Small entrance fee.
Air-conditioned comfort, but not cold. Small shop with replica art and souvenirs.
The building is art in itself with heavy wood and limestone rock. Museum is small but perfectly formed. Large bronze statues in the grounds set the tone for the excellent art of different mediums to come. The exhibit to show life on a settlers' wagon journey was well done and will appeal to children in particular. Large barbed wire collection was more interesting than one would expect. Beautiful western saddles complemented the sculptures and paintings.
A volunteer talked us through the history of the museum and some art pieces which added positively to the visit. We took our time to wander through the halls for a couple of hours.
翻译:西部艺术博物馆位于克尔维尔郊外,距离市中心仅需短暂车程。馆内停车位充足,门票价格低廉。
馆内空调舒适,但并不冷。小商店出售复制艺术品和纪念品。
博物馆建筑本身就是一件艺术品,采用厚重的木材和石灰岩建造。博物馆虽小,但布局精巧。庭院中矗立的大型青铜雕像为即将展出的各种媒介的精美艺术品奠定了基调。展现早期拓荒者马车之旅的展览布置精美,尤其吸引儿童。大量的铁丝网藏品比预想的更有趣。精美的西部马鞍与雕塑和绘画相得益彰。
一位志愿者为我们讲解了博物馆的历史和一些艺术藏品,为参观增添了不少乐趣。我们在展厅里悠闲地漫步了几个小时。
