点评:I have a hard time reviewing this museum, because I would like to rate it higher, but found the experience to be right in the middle overall. The museum is beautiful, and it's worth visiting just to wander the interior of the building and see the architecture. There is also a partially preserved bath house from the buildings history as a luxury hotel which is neat to see.
Many of the artefacts are beautiful to see, but the museum feels largely random and slightly incoherent. It is, after all, a collection of collections, meaning there was rarely enough of one subject on display to really do more than pique your interest but leave you wanting more.
In many places, things seemed randomly placed together. Some collections were more interesting than others, but that will depend on the personal tastes of the visitor. My favorite part of the museum was the gilded age exhibit on the third floor. The pieces on display were some of the most beautiful in the museum, and the gallery was fairly large, giving a chance to actually have the time and space to really delve into the subject matter and gain a deeper appreciation of the pieces. Other galleries, like the bicycle, music, or stained glass galleries, offered just a small taste of the artefacts but failed to offer anything substantial.
I saved this museum as the last stop on a four day visit to St. Augustine, as I was quite excited to visit, but left feeling somewhere underwhelmed. I would consider stopping by again on a future trip to give it another try.
翻译:我很难评价这家博物馆,因为我想给它更高的评价,但总体来说,我的体验只能说是中等水平。博物馆很漂亮,光是漫步在建筑内部,欣赏一下建筑本身就值得一游。博物馆里还有一间部分保存完好的浴室,它曾是一座豪华酒店,也挺有意思的。
许多文物看起来很漂亮,但博物馆的整体布局感觉很随意,略显杂乱。毕竟,它是一个收藏品的集合体,这意味着展出的单一主题很少能真正激发你的兴趣,让你意犹未尽。
在很多地方,展品似乎是随意摆放的。有些藏品比其他藏品更有趣,但这取决于参观者的个人品味。我最喜欢的是三楼的镀金时代展览。展出的展品是博物馆里最精美的展品之一,而且展厅也相当宽敞,让我有机会有时间和空间深入研究主题,更深入地欣赏这些展品。其他展厅,比如自行车展厅、音乐展厅或彩色玻璃展厅,只能提供一些小众的文物,并没有什么实质性的内容。
我把这个博物馆作为圣奥古斯丁四日游的最后一站,因为我本来很期待参观,但离开时却感觉有些失望。我考虑下次再去,再体验一次。
