点评:We arrived at 1.5 hours after opening, in the middle of the week The parking lot attendant assured us that there were no spaces left, but we found a space on a side street, past the bus parking lot. The three small children (13, 12, 9) loved everything they saw, but only after we explained it to them. We took them to see classical art, modern art, Israeli art, Egyptian archaeology, Judaica, sculptures, millionaires' rooms and four synagogues. That was all we could manage in 3.5 hours.
At the entrance we were told we could only picnic on benches right outside, mostly in the sun. Much later we discovered an indoor-outdoor picnic area with chairs and tables.
Signage is almost nonexistent. Guards pointed us in the right direction, telling us to ask the next guard, etc.
Long hallways feature empty walls. Space is so wasted that only 7,000 items are on exhibit, even though the museum owns around 500,000 items. There is room for at least 15,000 items. The museum's philosophy during the three-year renovation was that they didn't want to overwhelm the visitors with too much to look at. Nonsense.
Explanatory signs next to the pictures are printed so small that it is almost impossible to read them without getting so close that the guards warn you to stand further back.
The museum closed at 16:00, the precise time the amazing museum shop closes and the Modern Restaurant's kitchen closes. We ended up spending our final half hour in the shop, skipping the restaurant, and driving to the nearby Azrieli Malcha Mal for dinner, the parking lot and food court of which are horrors of their own.
翻译:我们到达时,博物馆刚开门一个半小时,正值周中。停车场的工作人员跟我们保证没有空位了,但我们在公交车停车场旁边的一条小街上找到了一个车位。三个小孩(13岁、12岁、9岁)看到什么都喜欢,但只有在我们解释清楚之后才喜欢。我们带他们去看了古典艺术、现代艺术、以色列艺术、埃及考古、犹太文物、雕塑、百万富翁的房间和四座犹太教堂。这就是我们在三个半小时内所能参观的全部。
在入口处,我们被告知只能在外面的长椅上野餐,而且大部分时间都在晒太阳。很久之后,我们发现了一个室内外合一的野餐区,里面有桌椅。
几乎没有指示牌。警卫给我们指了正确的方向,让我们问旁边的警卫,等等。
长长的走廊两边是空荡荡的墙壁。博物馆的空间实在太浪费了,虽然馆藏大约50万件,但展出的只有7000件。博物馆至少可以容纳1.5万件。在为期三年的翻修过程中,博物馆的理念是不想让太多展品让游客眼花缭乱。简直是胡扯。
图片旁边的说明牌印得太小了,如果不靠近看,几乎不可能看清,保安会警告你站得再远一点。
博物馆下午4点闭馆,恰好是博物馆商店和现代餐厅厨房关门的时间。我们最后在商店里待了最后半个小时,没去餐厅,而是开车去了附近的阿兹列里·马尔恰·马尔餐厅吃晚饭,那里的停车场和美食广场本身就让人头疼。
