点评:I see on TA that there are 44,000 reviews of the Vienna's Schoenbrunn Palace, and "only" 10,000 - of the Kunsthistorische (Fine Arts) Museum, so I decided to contribute too. Be advised: most of the negative reviews are NOT about the quality of the collection (it must definitely be among the 10 best in the world) - they are about confusion and problems with entrance tickets, vouchers, online reservations, etc.
I guess it's good to take care of it in advance, though I just showed up, bought the ticket after staying in a short line and went inside (maybe because it was a weekday in March?)
Yes, the price of admission is quite high (was it 24 Euro?), but still lower than the Met Museum in NYC (they raised the prices for tourists). However, I would pay it gladly for seeing only the Breughel the Elder's paintings (largest collection anywhere). Also, this time I went to the Antiques Department. I have visited museums in Athens, Greece, and I can say the Vienna's collection is as extensive as it is impressive - totally worth visiting for lovers of the Ancient World (see the photos)! The collection of gold items from the Dark Ages was also very interesting. So, if you come for the Classical Art period - as most tourists do - just keep in mind that there is much more ))
翻译:我在TripAdvisor上看到,关于维也纳美泉宫的评论有44,000条,而关于艺术史博物馆的评论则“仅仅”有1万条,于是我也决定来写一条评论。需要说明的是:大多数负面评论其实并不是针对馆藏品质的(这里的藏品绝对属于世界前十的水平);它们主要反映的是购票流程的混乱,以及门票、代金券、在线预约等方面的问题。
我想提前做好准备会比较好,不过我当时是直接去的。排了会儿队后就买到了票,然后进去了(或许是因为当时是三月份的周日吧?)
没错,门票价格确实挺贵的(是24欧元吗?),但仍然比纽约的大都会艺术博物馆要便宜(大都会博物馆提高了对游客的收费)。不过,即便只是为了观赏老勃鲁盖尔的画作——那里拥有全球最大的老勃鲁盖尔作品收藏——我也心甘情愿付这个钱。这次我还去了古董部。我曾去过希腊雅典的多个博物馆。可以说,维也纳的藏品既丰富又令人叹为观止——对古代世界爱好者而言绝对值得一游(看看这些照片吧!)。中世纪时期的金器收藏也同样非常有趣。所以,如果你和大多数游客一样是冲着古典艺术时期而来,请记住:这里还有更多值得探索的内容呢!
