点评:Someone else in these reviews undoubtedly did a better job explaining the historical background of this museum and grounds than I can, so just read below. I can say that we went on a Sunday at 9:30 a.m. (when the grounds open) and went into the museum at 10:00 a.m. Given the devastation of the recent hurricanes and tropical storms, the grounds took a beating. So, I was the most engaged and enthralled with the collection housed within. In addition to the permanent collections (they have the space to show about 20% of it, so the rooms do rotate), there were a couple contemporary shows as well: a photographer focusing on trans men, and a group show of Japanese women working with ceramics and the like. They also have a respectful Asian art collection that spans Asia in the course of a couple rooms. I tended to gravitate towards the masters ... and I was shocked I had never heard of this museum before?!? Sarasota is a well kept secret, and this museum is a gem in the this city. If you like museums, plan to spend a couple hours here. Part of the grounds were closed due to a private event?!? The guards were off-putting in waving us off. I can't comment about the expense of the tickets -- since I went with a friend who lives a ten minute walk away and is a member.
翻译:这些评论中的其他人无疑比我更好地解释了这个博物馆和场地的历史背景,所以请继续阅读。我可以说,我们是周日上午 9:30(场地开放时)去的,并于上午 10:00 进入博物馆。由于最近飓风和热带风暴的破坏,场地遭受了重创。因此,我对馆内的藏品最为投入和着迷。除了永久藏品(他们有空间展示其中的 20% 左右,因此房间会轮换),还有几个当代展览:一个专注于跨性别男性的摄影师,以及一个日本女性从事陶瓷等工作的集体展览。他们还有一个受人尊敬的亚洲艺术收藏品,分布在几个房间里,横跨亚洲。我倾向于大师的作品……我很震惊,我以前从未听说过这个博物馆?!?萨拉索塔是一个鲜为人知的秘密,而这个博物馆是这座城市的瑰宝。如果你喜欢博物馆,计划在这里呆上几个小时。部分场地因私人活动而关闭?!?警卫们挥手让我们离开,真是令人不快。我无法评论门票的价格——因为我和一位住在十分钟路程之外的朋友一起去的,他是会员。
