点评:I experienced the Marietta Museum of Whimsy with my sister this week and LOVED it ! It had a large collection of fanciful, colorful, unexpected and varied pieces. I especially wanted to view the collection of highwaymen paintings on display. It was the largest collection I had ever seen in one place !
There was stained glass. Pottery, blown glass, mixed media, metal sculptures, jewelry, beadwork, and so much more. It is a must see for artists. It's a very fun, joyful museum for children (17 and under are FREE) there was an interactive video projection room which turned the moving image of each guest into a piece of artwork! The outdoor garden was impressive as was the gem and jewelry case inside the cafe. There are many places to sit and rest throughout. The day we toured was the founder, Mary Lee's 80 birthday. We were able to meet and chat with her. They served cake and ice cream in her honor. It was a full of wonder visit punctuated with delightful surprises around every corner it will take 3 or 4 visits to see all that is displayed. It was inspirational and made me want to go home and paint ! I will definitely return to this fantastical setting. There is plenty of free parking. Don't wait, just go! (Open Nov-May)
翻译:这周我和姐姐一起去了玛丽埃塔奇趣博物馆,真是太喜欢了!馆内收藏了大量奇思妙想、色彩缤纷、别具一格的艺术品。我尤其想看看展出的公路强盗画作,那是我见过的最大规模的公路强盗画收藏!
馆内还有彩色玻璃、陶器、吹制玻璃、混合媒介作品、金属雕塑、珠宝、珠饰等等,琳琅满目,应有尽有。对于艺术家来说,这里绝对是必游之地。对于孩子们来说,这里也是一个充满乐趣的博物馆(17岁及以下儿童免费)。馆内设有一个互动视频投影室,可以将每位参观者的动态影像转化为一件艺术作品!户外花园令人印象深刻,咖啡馆内的宝石和珠宝展示柜也同样精彩。馆内各处都设有许多可以休息放松的座位。我们参观的那天正好是创始人玛丽·李的80岁生日,我们还有幸与她见面并进行了交谈。为了庆祝她的生日,博物馆还准备了蛋糕和冰淇淋。这是一次充满奇妙体验的参观,处处都充满了惊喜,需要来三四次才能看完所有展品。它激发了我的灵感,让我回家后就想立刻开始画画!我一定会再次回到这个梦幻般的地方。这里有充足的免费停车位。别犹豫了,赶紧去吧!(11月至次年5月开放)
