点评:This was a fascinating museum. You first enter the building designed for the American College of Surgeons, and this is where you purchase your ticket. The auditorium is something to see, but the real treasure is the Nickerson Mansion which is connected. This mansion was over the top even for its time when it was built. It has been restored lovingly. Much of the art is not original to the house but it is of the period of the house. The upstairs' levels with the bedrooms is set up with changing art exhibits. We were not very interested in those, but we went from room to room to see the details of the decor. They only hand you a map when you enter, so the information about each room is placed on placards. Sometimes, it was difficult to read the placard because they were not large and you had to wait for other visitors to finish. I wished there had been easier access to more information as we self toured the mansion.
翻译:这是一座非常有趣的博物馆。首先进入的是为美国外科医师学院建造的建筑物,门票也在那里购买。礼堂本身也值得一看,但真正的瑰宝则是与之相连的尼克森庄园。这座庄园在建造之时便已显得极为奢华、超乎寻常。如今它得到了精心修复。馆内的许多艺术品虽非原属此宅之物,但均出自与宅邸同一时期。楼上的卧室区会定期更换艺术展览。我们对这些展览并不太感兴趣,但还是挨个房间去欣赏里面的装饰细节。进入时工作人员只会发一张地图,关于每个房间的介绍则写在指示牌上。不过这些指示牌尺寸较小,有时很难看清,还得等其他参观者看完才行。在我们自行游览这座豪宅的过程中,真希望能有更便捷的方式来获取更多信息啊。
