点评:This museum was a stop on a friends’ day adventure from Pittsburgh, coupled with a tour of the Homer Laughlin factory, and Fiesta outlet shopping across the river in Newell, WV.
So glad we visited the museum first as it really gave historical framework for the later factory tour. The building itself is a historic old post office, and beautiful inside.
Blake, the gracious and hospitable staff member, recommended we start with the movie first and so glad we did. It was very well done and the perfect background we needed to thoroughly appreciate the displays throughout the museum. We had no idea there was so much pottery made in the area years ago.
The museum is well organized, with beautiful well-marked displays. We had a professional potter in our group and she was very impressed! Even if you’re not interested in pottery, the history of the pottery industry is fascinating and the museum as well worth the admission.
Be sure and allow yourself enough time to shop the unique jewelry made from shards, as well as other gift shop items. We are already talking about going back.
翻译:我们从匹兹堡出发,和朋友一起去探索这座博物馆,顺便参观了荷马·劳克林工厂,以及河对岸西弗吉尼亚州纽厄尔的Fiesta奥特莱斯购物中心。
很高兴我们先参观了博物馆,因为它为之后的工厂之旅提供了历史框架。博物馆本身是一座历史悠久的老邮局,内部装饰精美。
热情好客的工作人员布莱克建议我们先看电影,我们很高兴这么做了。电影制作精良,为我们充分欣赏博物馆的展品提供了完美的背景。我们之前并不知道这个地区多年前曾制作过如此多的陶器。
博物馆组织有序,展品精美,标识清晰。我们团里有一位专业的陶艺家,她对博物馆的参观印象深刻!即使你对陶艺不感兴趣,陶艺行业的历史也令人着迷,而且这座博物馆也绝对值得一看。
一定要留出足够的时间去选购用陶片制作的独特珠宝以及其他礼品店的商品。我们已经在谈论回去的事了。
