点评:Impressive structure that was completed in 1810 under the direction of the Bishop of Guadalajara, Juan Ruiz de Cabañas, and served as a workhouse, hospital, orphanage for the poor. It was one of the largest orphanages and hospital complexes in the Western Hemisphere and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After my visit to the Cathedral of Guadalajara, this was the next biggest highlight of my visit to Guadalajara. Once inside you can wander freely through the complex and there are several rooms displaying modern artwork from the past century by prominent Mexican artists. However, the highlight of a visit to the Museo Cabañas is to experience the monumental frescoes by Mexican artist José Clemente Orozco. Orozco was a contemporary of Diego Rivera and they were leaders in the movement known as Mexican Muralism in the early 20th century. The murals are politically themed and have a heavy focus on human suffering. Orozco was late in his life when he agreed to paint these murals and would only move forward if he was given the complete freedom to paint exactly what he wanted. When completed and first displayed, the murals were incredibly controversial and were met by widespread shock. They are dark and powerful but absolutely stunning and are considered the artist's masterpiece. There are tours offered hourly throughout the day, and this is a great way to appreciate what you are looking at. I recall English tours being offered every other hour but there is no schedule posted in advance, and you will not find out the times of the tours until you arrive at the museum.
翻译:这座令人印象深刻的建筑于 1810 年在瓜达拉哈拉主教 Juan Ruiz de Cabañas 的指导下建成,用作济贫院、医院和穷人的孤儿院。它是西半球最大的孤儿院和医院综合体之一,是联合国教科文组织世界遗产。在我参观瓜达拉哈拉大教堂之后,这是我瓜达拉哈拉之旅的下一个最大亮点。进入博物馆后,您可以自由地漫步在建筑群中,那里有几个房间展示着上个世纪著名墨西哥艺术家的现代艺术作品。然而,参观卡巴尼亚斯博物馆的亮点是欣赏墨西哥艺术家 José Clemente Orozco 的巨幅壁画。Orozco 是 Diego Rivera 的同时代人,他们是 20 世纪初墨西哥壁画运动的领导者。壁画以政治为主题,重点关注人类的苦难。奥罗斯科在晚年才同意创作这些壁画,并且只有在获得完全的自由创作他想要的风格时才会继续创作。这些壁画完成并首次展出时,引起了极大的争议,并引发了广泛的震惊。它们阴暗而有力,却绝对令人叹为观止,被认为是这位艺术家的杰作。博物馆全天每小时提供一次导览,这是欣赏作品的绝佳方式。我记得博物馆每隔一小时提供一次英语导览,但没有提前公布的时间表,您只有到达博物馆才能知道导览的具体时间。
