Museum of the City of New York的点评
点评：We visited the Museum of the City of New York on May 20 to see two exhibits: “Building New York City” and “The Occupied City.” Although radically different exercises, each was a “knockout, must see” show.
Joe Macken’s miniature reconstruction of all of New York City is truly amazing, showing craftsmanship, artistry, dedication, and love of New York. Filling an entire vast space, this floor-level representation allows viewers to see the vastness and complexity of all five boroughs, the surrounding waterways, and associated islands. Landmarks are faithfully and carefully constructed; neighborhoods are clearly identifiable – indeed each house and building has a spot – leading visitors who are natives to ask, as I did, “where is the house in which I grew up,” or “where do we live.”
Celebrating the nation’s 250th birthday, The Occupied City focuses on the years that the British controlled New York during the Revolutionary War. It is apparent that the curators of this exhibit wanted to bring home the human factors associated with British rule. There were several story lines, including Loyalists fleeing persecution from the Revolutionaries forced to live in tent encampments; inhabitants enduring several extremely harsh winters (recall Valley Forge); soldiers clearing vast forests in order to have firewood; indigenous populations choosing sides; slaves fleeing to the British with the promise of freedom. Many personal items of the inhabitants enhanced our connection to the people involved, and to present day world and national issues. The Occupied City provides an excellent education of the struggles the population endured during the period leading up to and after the “war for independence.”
Copies of old city maps - detailing still-existing street names and landmarks - reinforce our connection in the present to the past; just imagine the stories of the countless thousands of people who walked these same streets for over 300 years.

翻译：5月20日，我们参观了纽约市博物馆，观看了“建设纽约”和“被占领的城市”两个展览。虽然两个展览风格迥异，但都精彩绝伦，令人叹为观止。
乔·麦肯（Joe Macken）的纽约市微缩模型令人叹为观止，展现了精湛的工艺、艺术造诣、奉献精神以及对纽约的热爱。这个占据整个展厅的地面模型，让观众得以一窥纽约五大区、周边水道和岛屿的广阔与复杂。地标建筑被忠实而细致地还原；各个街区清晰可辨——事实上，每栋房屋和建筑都有其专属位置——这让像我一样的本地游客不禁问道：“我小时候住的房子在哪里？”或者“我们现在住在哪里？”
为庆祝美国建国250周年，“被占领的城市”展览聚焦于美国独立战争期间英国占领纽约的岁月。显然，本次展览的策展人希望展现英国统治时期的人文情怀。展览呈现了多条故事线，包括：保皇党人为躲避革命者的迫害而被迫栖身帐篷营地；居民们忍受着数个极其严酷的寒冬（让人想起福吉谷）；士兵们为了获取柴火而砍伐大片森林；原住民被迫选择阵营；奴隶们在自由的希望下逃往英国。许多居民的个人物品加深了我们与当时人们的联系，也让我们联想到当今世界和国家面临的问题。“被占领的城市”展览生动地展现了“独立战争”前后，当地居民所经历的苦难。
古老的城市地图副本——详细标注着至今仍然存在的街道名称和地标——强化了我们当下与过去的联系；试想一下，三百多年来，无数的人们曾行走在这些街道上，他们的故事该是多么令人唏嘘。
