Getting to know a unique and extraordinary artist was a highlight of Ocean Springs for our family
Walter Anderson Museum of Art的点评
点评:We'd never heard of Walter Anderson before visiting, but getting to know him, his work, and his family was fascinating. His passion for nature, challenges fitting into society, and depictions of the coast were inspiring for my family.
This was a highlight of an already wonderful visit to Ocean Springs. We hadn't intended to visit, but it was an uncharacteristically blustery day in March and our kids were wanting to try something indoors. I'm so glad it worked out this way, because I would not have wanted to miss out on this extraordinary museum. Two of my kids (ages 9 and 13) and I used the audio guides, and learned so much. My husband and oldest child (age 16) prefer reading and silence, so they skipped the audio guides and explored with the signage. We all had an amazing visit.
Note that visiting the community center is free - I would not miss that for anything while visiting OS. But I'm glad we visited with our museum audio guides, because we got so much more out of it.
We were there for 2-3 hours. It was busy, but not crowded. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I truly would not miss this museum if I were in Ocean Springs for any amount of time beyond a few hours. We really appreciated the educator and student discounts. Don't miss it!
翻译:在参观之前,我们从未听说过沃尔特·安德森,但了解他本人、他的作品以及他的家庭却让我们着迷。他对自然的热爱、融入社会的挑战以及他对海岸的描绘都深深地激励着我的家人。
这次参观为我们原本就精彩的海洋泉之旅锦上添花。我们原本并没有计划参观,但三月里一个反常的狂风天,孩子们想找个室内活动。我很高兴事情最终是这样安排的,因为我绝对不想错过这座非凡的博物馆。我的两个孩子(9岁和13岁)和我使用了语音导览,学到了很多东西。我的丈夫和16岁的大儿子更喜欢阅读和安静的环境,所以他们没有使用语音导览,而是根据指示牌自行探索。我们都度过了一段美好的时光。
值得一提的是,参观社区中心是免费的——我强烈建议您在游览海洋泉时不要错过它。不过,我很高兴我们使用了博物馆的语音导览,因为我们从中获得了更多收获。
我们在那里待了2-3个小时。人很多,但并不拥挤。工作人员非常友好热情。如果我在海洋泉停留超过几个小时,我绝对不会错过这家博物馆。我们非常感谢他们为教师和学生提供的折扣。千万不要错过!
