点评:We visited on Monday, when entrance is free (thank you Mastercard, who fund this), from 12-4. Predictably there is a long queue, going around the block before it opens, but it’s a huge venue so people enter quickly and most of the people are in within half an hour. It never felt crowded. By 1.30 you entered without queuing. Note the queue is in the sun, so cream up beforehand.
If you whizz to the uppermost floor you can enjoy the pop art collection largely without crowds. For me this was the highlight, with many interesting pictures.
Overall, its an incredible collection of paintings covering more than 500 years of art history. There are examples of the works of most of painting’s luminaries - Holbein, Picasso, Dali, Caravaggio, Durer, Ruben’s, etc, etc. Good notes with many of the pictures and QR codes to learn more. Lots of slightly less well known but interesting pictures from American artists.
Worth knowing that large bags have to go into the cloakroom and that on free Mondays the temporary exhibitions are closed.
There is an excellent cafe selling sandwiches and larger meals.
Highly recommended.
翻译:我们周一去参观了,当天免费入场(感谢万事达卡的资助),从中午12点到下午4点。不出所料,开门前排起了长队,绕着街区一圈。不过场馆很大,所以人们很快就能入场,大多数人半小时内就能进去。现场一点也不拥挤。下午1点半就不用排队了。注意,队伍在阳光下,所以提前涂好防晒霜。
如果你快速走到最顶层,就能欣赏到波普艺术收藏,基本不会拥挤。对我来说,这是亮点,有很多有趣的画作。
总的来说,这是一个令人难以置信的画作收藏,涵盖了500多年的艺术史。馆内展出了大多数绘画大师的作品,比如霍尔拜因、毕加索、达利、卡拉瓦乔、丢勒、鲁本斯等等。馆内有很多图片和二维码,可以了解更多。馆内有很多不太知名但很有趣的美国艺术家作品。
值得注意的是,大件行李必须存放在行李寄存处,并且周一免费开放,临时展览会闭馆。
这里有一家很棒的咖啡馆,出售三明治和大份餐食。
强烈推荐。
