Neat museum, focused on Tiffany's work
The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum Of American Art的点评
点评:Cool museum! Worth a couple of hours for sure.
The vast majority of the collection focuses on Louis Comfort Tiffany, the American artist and designer. Interspersed with the art are a lot of details about his life and biography.
There's a neat array of works. These include lots of Tiffany windows (of many scenes and styles), vases, Tiffany lamps, and other decorative items.
A showstopper is the Tiffany chapel, first unveiled at the Chicago World's Fair. It has gorgeous mosaic work and windows. The accompanying film and exhibits on its history are really interesting.
There are also some recreated rooms from Tiffany's mansion on Long Island. These are beautiful and show his work well. I appreciated the accompanying context.
There's also a separate gallery (small) on letter-writing. I enjoyed it!
A nice gift shop, too.
Admission, at $6, is affordable. Totally worth the price!
翻译:很棒的博物馆!绝对值得花几个小时去参观。
馆内藏品主要集中在美国艺术家兼设计师路易斯·康福特·蒂芙尼身上。艺术品中穿插着许多关于他生平和传记的细节。
馆内藏品琳琅满目,包括许多蒂芙尼橱窗(各种场景和风格)、花瓶、蒂芙尼灯具以及其他装饰品。
蒂芙尼教堂是一大亮点,它首次亮相于芝加哥世界博览会。教堂拥有精美的马赛克作品和橱窗。配套的影片和关于其历史的展览也引人入胜。
馆内还重建了蒂芙尼在长岛豪宅的一些房间。这些房间非常漂亮,很好地展现了他的作品。我很欣赏配套的背景介绍。
还有一个独立的小型书信画廊,主题是书信写作。我很喜欢!
还有一家很棒的礼品店。
门票6美元,价格实惠。绝对物超所值!
