Wow, Surprisingly Great Art Museum
Saint Louis Art Museum的点评
点评:We love art museums and have been to many both inside and outside the US, so we decided to check out the St.Louis Art Museum.
Honestly, we didn’t have particularly high expectations for it but thought it would be a nice way to kill some time. Needless to say, we were very pleasantly surprised.
First of all, the whole area and grounds around the museum are beautiful. Once you get inside, in and of itself it isn’t super impressive, but the art it houses is tremendous.
SLAM contains amazing pieces from a wide variety of artists, including some of the greatest of the greats. One of my wife’s personal favorites is Monet, especially his water lily paintings. We were shocked to see that SLAM is one of only a handful of art museums in the world to contain one of his water lily paintings. My wife could hardly pull herself away from it.
SLAM also contains numerous interesting antiquity displays with some items dating back thousands of years.
In addition to the art and antiquities, SLAM contains a decent little cafe and a gift shop.
We definitely could have used more time to explore the museum than we allotted for ourselves. Hopefully, we’ll get an opportunity to return.
Two very big PowerTrippers thumbs up!

翻译:我们很喜欢艺术博物馆,在美国国内外都参观过很多家,因此决定去看看圣路易斯艺术博物馆。
说实话,我们原本并没有抱太高期望,只觉得这是个打发时间的好方式。不过结果却让我们大感惊喜。
首先,博物馆周边的区域和庭院都十分美丽。进入馆内后,建筑本身倒算不上特别引人注目,但馆内收藏的艺术品却极为出色。SLAM收藏了众多艺术家的杰出作品,其中不乏各领域的顶尖大师之作。我妻子特别钟爱莫奈的作品,尤其是他的睡莲系列画作。当我们得知SLAM是全球为数不多藏有莫奈睡莲画作的美术馆之一时,都感到十分震惊。我妻子几乎舍不得离开那些画作。
此外,SLAM还陈列着大量颇具趣味的古物,其中一些物品的年代可追溯到数千年之前。除了艺术品与古物外,SLAM还设有一家不错的小咖啡馆和一家礼品店。
我们原本应该花更多时间来游览这座博物馆才对。希望以后还有机会再来。
给“PowerTrippers”两个大大的赞!
