点评:My professor once asked me which all museums I had visited. And my answer - The Louvre Museum ,Paris , thé Smithsonian Museums Washington DC , the Vatican Museum… And the professor asked me why I had not visited any in Chennai in spite of living here for so long.
And that’s when it entered my bucket list. However I was a bit disappointed. The unkept grounds, the lack of directions , the rude staff.. I was sad to see such wealth displayed so casually with no real thought or concern. The Ravi Varma painting were extraordinary but so poorly lit that you could barely see the faces or features. Many of the exhibition halls were closed for renovation. Some exhibits were kept in the open and no one visited these areas . The architecture of the buildings , however, is extraordinary
I was went on a Sunday and it was crowded. In spite of the poor maintenance I would recommend visiting this place for its architecture and the range of exhibits. Just like all the people who throng to this place.
With the right effort it can rise up to international standards.
翻译:我的教授曾经问我参观过哪些博物馆。我的回答是:巴黎卢浮宫、华盛顿特区史密森尼博物馆、梵蒂冈博物馆……教授问我,既然在钦奈住了这么久,为什么一个博物馆都没去过。
于是,钦奈博物馆就被我列入了愿望清单。然而,我却有些失望。杂乱的场地、缺乏指示、工作人员态度恶劣……看到如此丰富的财富如此随意地展示,却无人问津,我感到很遗憾。拉维·瓦尔玛的画作固然精美绝伦,但光线昏暗,几乎看不清人物的脸部特征。许多展厅都在翻修,一些展品被露天摆放,无人问津。不过,这些建筑本身确实令人叹为观止。
我是周日去的,人很多。尽管维护状况不佳,但我仍然会推荐大家来这里参观,欣赏它的建筑和丰富的展品。就像所有蜂拥而至的游客一样。
只要付出足够的努力,它就能达到国际标准。
