Yeah, I know…but you must visit!
巴恩斯艺术博物馆的点评
点评：The Barnes Foundation is home to one of the most extraordinary and idiosyncratic art collections in the country, if not the world. The sheer depth of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and early Modern works — from Renoir and Cézanne to Matisse and Picasso — is staggering. Dr. Albert Barnes had an unorthodox approach to collecting and displaying art, and his unique “ensembles” offer a completely different way to experience visual relationships between works.
That said, visiting the Barnes also brings with it a layer of controversy that’s hard to ignore. The museum was originally housed in Merion, Pennsylvania, and Barnes’ will very explicitly stated his desire that the collection never be moved or altered. Despite this, the collection was ultimately relocated to Philadelphia in 2012 — a move that critics argue violated his legacy in favor of broader accessibility and institutional control.
The new building is sleek and beautiful, and the curators have done an admirable job preserving the idiosyncratic spirit of the original layout. But for those who value donor intent and the integrity of artistic vision, the move remains a sticking point — a tension between access and authenticity.
A must visit and make sure you have time for lunch at the lovely garden restaurant.

翻译：巴恩斯基金会拥有美国乃至全球最杰出、最独特的艺术收藏之一。其收藏涵盖了从雷诺阿、塞尚到马蒂斯和毕加索等众多大师的印象派、后印象派和早期现代主义作品，其深度令人叹为观止。阿尔伯特·巴恩斯博士收藏和展示艺术品的方式独树一帜，他独特的“整体”设计提供了一种截然不同的方式来体验作品之间的视觉关系。
然而，参观巴恩斯博物馆也带来了一层难以忽视的争议。博物馆最初位于宾夕法尼亚州的梅里恩，巴恩斯在遗嘱中明确表示，他希望藏品永远不会被移动或改变。尽管如此，藏品最终还是在2012年迁至费城——批评人士认为，此举违背了他的遗产，而是为了扩大公众的可及性和机构的控制权。
新建筑造型优美，策展人出色地保留了原有布局的独特精神。但对于那些珍视捐赠者意图和艺术视野完整性的人来说，搬迁仍然是一个症结所在——在开放性和真实性之间徘徊。
一定要来参观，并留出时间在可爱的花园餐厅享用午餐。
