点评:The new addition is spectacular! Fabulous architectural design! The contemporary art in the new addition is wonderful. The staff (docents), however, were terrible!!! Untrained or trained to be rude to patrons! In all the years I have visited museums - all around the world, I have never experienced such blatant rudeness!!! We were told, rudely, several times, to step away from exhibits. We were given incongruous and conflicting information (one rude docent said 2-feet, the other rude one said 12 inches) about how many feet to stay away from exhibits - some which are only truly appreciated for their fine workmanship, by looking up closely - as you would with a pointillism painting by Georges Seurat. If a 2-foot buffer is required in the new museum addition (or elsewhere), then a large poster should be installed at the main front desk with this information; and as you check in, the staff at the front desk should tell visitors to stay away from artwork by 12 or 24 inches. Ridiculous!!! What started out as a wonderful experience was destroyed as we walked around to appreciate many wonderful works of contemporary art. Our first experience to the new Joslyn addition was totally wrecked by the horrible way we were treated, singled out, and discriminated against by the untrained staff. Oh, and as a sideline, there are no benches for the elderly to sit in the new galleries. All museums have places to sit - if not to just rest, but to contemplate works of art. Another example of discrimination.
翻译:新馆非常壮观!建筑设计很棒!新馆里的当代艺术很棒。但是工作人员(讲解员)太糟糕了!!!没有受过训练,或者受过训练,对顾客粗鲁无礼!这么多年,我参观了世界各地的博物馆,从未遇到过如此公然的粗鲁!!!我们被粗鲁地告知要远离展品好几次。我们得到了不一致且相互矛盾的信息(一位粗鲁的讲解员说 2 英尺,另一位粗鲁的讲解员说 12 英寸),关于要与展品保持多少英尺的距离——有些展品只有通过近距离观察才能真正欣赏到它们的精湛工艺——就像你欣赏乔治·修拉的点画一样。如果新博物馆(或其他地方)需要 2 英尺的缓冲距离,那么应该在主前台张贴一张带有此信息的大型海报;当你办理入住手续时,前台的工作人员应该告诉游客要远离艺术品 12 或 24 英寸。太荒谬了!!!一开始的美好体验在我们四处走动欣赏众多当代艺术杰作时被破坏了。我们第一次参观新乔斯林博物馆的经历被毫无经验的工作人员对待、挑出和歧视的方式彻底破坏了。哦,顺便说一下,新画廊里没有供老年人坐的长椅。所有博物馆都有可以坐的地方——如果不是为了休息,而是用来欣赏艺术品。这是歧视的另一个例子。
