点评:Admittedly, the museum is small, and its current layout may feel limited. At the moment, only one floor is open, mainly showcasing local or regional contemporary creations, which may not appeal to all visitors. There is a small engraving by Goya and a piece by Gallé, though these are discreetly placed and easy to overlook.
I remembered, from a visit about twenty years ago, a respectable collection of 19th-century American paintings that I found of real interest. It's unclear whether this has been moved or replaced temporarily, possibly to make room for the upcoming exhibition (apparently focused on aquatic themes, based on what's being prepared upstairs).
Of course, this is only a matter of personal taste. I hope that the museum’s promise of being “more than a museum,” as stated on the poster outside, will be realized in future exhibitions. For now, I personally found the current offering rather underwhelming. The French-language signage is somewhat tucked away in a back corridor, currently closed to children’s activities.
That said, the staff were very welcoming, admission was reduced (6 instead of 12 dollars), and the ticket is valid for a week and also gives access to other museums in the city—which is a definite plus. The temperature inside, thanks to the building's history as a former prison, is pleasantly cool.
翻译:无可否认,博物馆规模不大,目前的布局可能感觉有些局限。目前只有一层开放,主要展示本地或地区当代创作,可能并非所有游客都感兴趣。博物馆里有一幅戈雅的小版画和一幅加莱的作品,但摆放位置很低,很容易被忽略。
我记得大约二十年前参观时,馆内收藏了一些相当不错的19世纪美国绘画作品,我对此非常感兴趣。目前尚不清楚这些画作是被移动还是暂时替换,可能是为了给即将举行的展览腾出空间(根据楼上正在准备的情况,展览主题似乎是水生生物)。
当然,这只是个人喜好问题。我希望博物馆在外面海报上宣称的“不仅仅是一个博物馆”的承诺能够在未来的展览中实现。目前,我个人觉得目前的展览相当平淡无奇。法语标识牌藏在后走廊里,目前不对儿童开放。
不过,工作人员非常热情,门票价格优惠(原价12美元,现价6美元),而且门票有效期为一周,还可以参观城里的其他博物馆——这绝对是一大亮点。由于这栋建筑曾是一座监狱,所以馆内温度凉爽宜人。
