点评:Wow...the kind of museum I didn't think existed anymore, reminded me of school trips of my long lost youth! Quite fittingly there was a couple of school jaunts in there when I visited. It's a former art school in an attractive gabled Victorian building which hasn't been jazzed up with trendy signage, trigger warnings or exclusive inclusives (think it's just assumed that everyone will enjoy their visit!) (Nice clean, fresh toilets too!)
My main focus was the Louise Rayner exhibition - delightful watercolours of old Chester - excellent! Another gallery had a great collection of Chester-centric paintings of views of the town, picturesque buildings, horses on the Roodee racecourse and famous Chester citizens, a further gallery has Silver 'objets' from when Chester was an assay office, downstairs an amazing collection of Roman altars...
Free and well worth a visit, just a few yards off Bridge Street turning into Grosvenor Street.
翻译:哇……这种博物馆我以前以为已经不存在了,让我想起了我久违的青春岁月中的学校旅行!我去的时候正好有几次学校短途旅行。这是一所前艺术学校,位于一栋漂亮的维多利亚式山墙建筑内,没有用时髦的标志、触发警告或独家包容性来装饰(我想每个人都会喜欢他们的参观!)(厕所也很干净、清新!)
我的主要关注点是 Louise Rayner 展览——老切斯特的水彩画令人赏心悦目——太棒了!另一个画廊收藏了大量以切斯特为中心的画作,描绘了小镇的景色、风景如画的建筑、Roodee 赛马场上的马匹和著名的切斯特市民,另一个画廊收藏了切斯特作为化验所时的银器“物品”,楼下是令人惊叹的罗马祭坛收藏……
免费,非常值得一游,距离 Bridge Street 转入 Grosvenor Street 仅几码之遥。
