点评:The Eskenazi Museum needs to display more art. I can’t state this more clearly. The building is as beautiful as everyone says but as an art museum, the displays are too small. There are two large gallery rooms, one for modern and other for works older than 100 (approximately). Going very slowly, I finished the two galleries in an hour. For a museum that boasts “45,000 objects”, I expect a larger quantity of art displayed. They have more and you can even see pics of storage areas. Why not use these to share the art with the world?
What is on display is wonderful. Gerome has a self-portrait here. Tarbell and Calliboitte have superb works. An electric Hampel painting blew my mind. In the modern area a Balthus large canvas was awesome as was a wonderful Picasso.
They have no true gift shop. And the galleries are patrolled by students. I found that when I entered a gallery (I was usually the only one), the student/guard stopped looking at their computer and got up to nervously walk around while I was there. Then they would sit back down when I left.
I left feeling like the Eskenazi has a beautiful shell but the interior is only 10% full. Why have a lovely building and display so little art? If you are in the area, it makes sense to visit but don’t go out of your way to come here. Newfields & Cincinnati are close with much more to art see.
翻译:埃斯肯纳齐博物馆需要展示更多艺术品。这一点我无法说得更清楚。这座建筑就像大家说的那样美丽,但作为一座艺术博物馆,展品太少了。有两个大型展厅,一个用于展示现代作品,另一个用于展示 100 多年前的作品(大约)。我慢慢地走,一个小时就看完了两个展厅。对于一个拥有“45,000 件藏品”的博物馆来说,我期望展示的艺术品数量更多。他们有更多,你甚至可以看到储藏区的照片。为什么不利用这些与世界分享艺术呢?
展出的东西很棒。杰罗姆在这里有一幅自画像。塔贝尔和卡利博伊特的作品非常出色。一幅电动汉佩尔画让我大吃一惊。在现代区,一幅巴尔蒂斯的大画布很棒,一幅毕加索的作品也很棒。
他们没有真正的礼品店。画廊由学生巡逻。我发现当我进入画廊时(通常只有我一个人),学生/保安会停止看电脑,在我在那里时站起来紧张地走来走去。然后当我离开时,他们会坐下。
我离开时感觉埃斯肯纳齐的外表很漂亮,但内部只有 10% 的观众。为什么有这么漂亮的建筑却展示这么少的艺术品?如果你在附近,去参观是有意义的,但不要特意来这里。纽菲尔德和辛辛那提离这里很近,有很多艺术品可以欣赏。
