The mansion, the gardens and the splendor of Russian Art
山林博物馆&花园的点评
点评：The Hillwood Estate is one of the most beautiful mansions in Washington DC. Marjorie Merriweather Post, the heiress of the Post family (all of you probably know popular Post cereals) bought Hillwood in 1955 and decided that her mansion would be a museum. It is home to the most comprehensive collection of Russian imperial art outside of Russia. Marjorie Post accompanied her second husband,
Joseph Davies to Moscow, where he served as the United States Ambassador to the Soviet Union from 1936 to 1938. It was the time when the Soviets were selling Russian treasures left and right, so smart Marjorie used the opportunity to build her incomparable collection of Russian porcelain, jewelry, icons and Faberge eggs.
I started with the Gardens, which must be delightful in any season but winter. Lovely Japanese and French gardens, vast green lawns, the Rose Garden (alas, no roses now), the Dog Cemetery…everything was so lovely…except for the weather.
I also visited the exhibition “Fragile Beauty. The Art of the Ocean” in the Dacha. The old days objects made of pearls, corals, mother-of pearl, whimsical shells strikingly contrast with some modern pieces of art. Gorgeous!
It was time to warm up in the mansion itself - I left the best part for “dessert”. All rooms in the house are an incarnation of elegance and grace… and how remarkable all the Christmas decorations are! I have never seen more spectacular Christmas trees, some of them are done by the artists, whose work is featured in the Fragile Beauty exhibit. The collection of Russian art is precious and masterfully presented… the last time I had seen so many magnificent objects of Russian art was in the Hermitage Museum in St.Petersburg. The dining room is especially impressive: just think about the porcelain of the Russian Tzars… it is all there.
Do find some time to visit spectacular Hillwood Estates on your Washington DC trip!

翻译：希尔伍德庄园是华盛顿特区最美丽的豪宅之一。波斯特家族的继承人玛乔丽·梅里韦瑟·波斯特（你们可能都知道波斯特谷物）于 1955 年买下了希尔伍德庄园，并决定将她的豪宅打造成博物馆。这里收藏着俄罗斯境外最全面的俄罗斯帝国艺术品。玛乔丽·波斯特陪同她的第二任丈夫约瑟夫·戴维斯前往莫斯科，1936 年至 1938 年，戴维斯在那里担任美国驻苏联大使。当时苏联正在四处出售俄罗斯珍宝，聪明的玛乔丽利用这个机会建立了她无与伦比的俄罗斯瓷器、珠宝、圣像和法贝热彩蛋收藏。
我从花园开始，除了冬天，这里在任何季节都一定令人赏心悦目。美丽的日式和法式花园、广阔的绿色草坪、玫瑰园（可惜现在没有玫瑰）、狗公墓……一切都那么美好……除了天气。
我还参观了别墅里的“脆弱之美。海洋艺术”展览。珍珠、珊瑚、珍珠母、异想天开的贝壳等旧物件与一些现代艺术品形成了鲜明的对比。太美了！
是时候在别墅里暖和一下了——我把最好的部分留给了“甜点”。房子里的所有房间都体现了优雅和优雅……所有的圣诞装饰都太引人注目了！我从未见过如此壮观的圣诞树，其中一些是由艺术家制作的，他们的作品在“脆弱之美”展览中展出。俄罗斯艺术收藏非常珍贵，而且呈现得非常精湛……我上次看到这么多宏伟的俄罗斯艺术品是在圣彼得堡的冬宫博物馆。餐厅尤其令人印象深刻：想想俄罗斯沙皇的瓷器……那里应有尽有。
在华盛顿特区旅行时，一定要抽出时间参观壮观的希尔伍德庄园！
