A Fantastic Audubon Exhibit
National Sporting Library & Museum的点评
点评：I don't remember which magazine I saw it in, but I recently saw an ad for this exhibit, "Intrepid Audubon: The Birds of America." Also in the ad was a note that this Museum was on the Conde Nast list of the 51 best Museums in the U.S. I read the article, and this Museum was their best in my state, Virginia. So, being a birder and a Virginian, I was curious about the Museum. We took a leisurely 2 1/2 hour drive up to see the exhibit, which was well worth the time.
I was familiar with Audubon's works. I had heard about his double-elephant folios, but never imagined how enormous, in size, these prints were. On display were 4 volumes, each open to a bird print. The scale was amazing. And, there were a number of framed prints hanging in the room.
The exhibit doesn't take long to view. It is in the Museum, for which there is an entrance ($8 for seniors). After viewing the exhibit, I had a much greater respect for him as an artist. However, been a slave owner and a racist, that's something else.
Nearby is the Library, for which there is no entrance fee. In it, were two exhibits, "The Art of the Angle," and "Drawn to Nature: 300 years of Natural History Illustration." Both interesting exhibits.
All 3 exhibits end on September 13, 2025.

翻译：我不记得是在哪本杂志上看到的，但最近我看到了一则关于“勇敢的奥杜邦：美国鸟类”展览的广告。广告中还提到，这家博物馆被康泰纳仕评选为美国51家最佳博物馆之一。我读过这篇文章，发现这家博物馆是我所在的弗吉尼亚州最好的博物馆。因此，作为一名观鸟爱好者和弗吉尼亚人，我对这家博物馆充满了好奇。我们悠闲地驱车两个半小时来到展览现场，非常值得。
我对奥杜邦的作品很熟悉。我听说过他的双象对开本，但从未想过这些版画尺寸如此巨大。展览共四卷，每卷打开后都是一幅鸟类版画。规模之大令人惊叹。此外，房间里还挂着许多装裱好的版画。
参观展览用不了多久。它就在博物馆里，有入口（老年人8美元）。看完展览后，我对他作为一名艺术家的敬意更加深厚了。然而，作为一名奴隶主和种族主义者，情况就完全不同了。
附近有一个图书馆，免费入场。图书馆里有两个展览：“天使的艺术”和“被自然吸引：300年的自然历史插画”。这两个展览都很有趣。
这三个展览都将于2025年9月13日结束。
