It wasn't a Museum as such, more of a modern art collection. We were hoping to learn something of Maastricht's past and heritage.
I would definitely recommend this museum. There is an easy access Q park very close to this museum. The building itself is big and interesting in itself.The staff were friendly and the space allows them to spread out the art and objects.The first part was medieval wooden statues of saints from the 13th century and a fine collection of mainly Dutch and Flemish art from 1400-1700's. The space really allows them to frame each picture so you can take your time to view them. There was also a bit 'wacky' exhibition of Aussie recycling art which showed the ingenuity of people who need to improvise in the bush, but also highlights how wasteful we are today. There is a good cafe-restuarant and a great shop with some absolute bargains for art books and limited prints. We left feeling pleased we had taken the time and effort to visit this museum and will certainly return.
Building itself is like an art item. Good exposition of the contemporary art. We had a guide tour up to 2 h and it was really interesting.
The architecture alone makes a visit worthwhile. Very friendly staff at the reception. The collection was an interesting mix of classic and modern art. A lot of religious art and old Dutch masters, a very interesting exhibition of Japanese art by artists that are in an mental institution. Apart from Sol LeWitt and Van Lieshout, we also enjoyed the exhibition of art objects made by "ordinary" people. First impressions proved us wrong. This is what art is about.
一月份的时候参观了这座博物馆,那时候这里人很少,很安静,我们独享了这座博物馆!这座博物馆有很多展品,内容丰富,而且服务员超级友好。我们还去了咖啡厅,有免费的咖啡,派的价格也很公道,真是太棒了。
We visited the Museum last September with great expectation of a visual feast of new and old art. I can not believe how the current Director and Curator of this Publicly funded facility can get away with ridiculing its visitors with so called contemporary artworks wasting the beautiful spaces available in this building. I felt cheated and embarest by the rubbish presented as Art. Why any self respecting society would let their resources be wasted by self serving Art specialists is beyond me. Our visit lasted for 30 minutes and was considered the greatest waste of money during our 3 month world trip.
博物馆横跨Maas河,位于Maastricht的住宅区以及新翻修的生活区。入口很气派,店铺也很精致,茶室很怡人,里面的艺术收藏品很有趣。我们去的时候刚好赶上了俄罗斯艺术的展览。绝对值得前来。
The museum is a 15 minute walk from the old centre of Maastricht and housed in a building with a landmark exterior on the riverside. A central staircase leads to all levels and there is an intriguing column at the entrance that goes all the way up to the sky. There is an interesting collection of mostly religious art and art from the 14th to 17th century with some fabulous wooden sculptures and paintingsWhen I visited the museum there was a not so good temporary exhibition of contemporary art (just rubbish) and a good one of photographs. Check the museums website for other temporary exhibitionsThe restaurant serves decent food.
Interesting building , easy acces, good parking. The lovely collection is worth a visit. I enjoyed myselve inmensly, there is so much to see!
这次在波嫩范特(Bonnenfanten)博物馆的展览将会持续到8月份。此次展览还展出了其他几位艺术家的作品,从15世纪的宗教主题到1979年出生的艺术家作品,还专门设立了一个房间。一定要花两欧元买一个语音向导,因为没有现成的英文讲解!!
