I've visited many different museums for my arts column, but none of them was more fun than EMP in downtown Seattle. For one thing, there's the building's unique exterior. How could someone not love the look? There is a train track running through the middle of the building. It looks like a train station on the moon!
我為了藝術專欄造訪過各式各樣的博物館,但沒有一所博物館如西雅圖市中心的EMP如此耐人尋味。其中一項原因包括博物館建物擁有獨特外觀,誰會不喜愛這樣的建築?而且火車軌道還穿越博物館中央,彷彿月球上的火車站!
It's not only the exterior that stands out, but also the exhibits inside. They help to make the EMP Museum truly one of a kind. Most museums focus on the past, but EMP looks at the present. Exhibits cover different aspects of popular culture like music, movies, sports, and even video games. My favorite exhibit was Seattle Seahawks and the Road to Victory. It really gave me a behind-the-scenes look at Seattle's football team.
不是只有外觀獨樹一格,館內展覽更使EMP博物館成為一絕。多數博物館將重點放在過去,但EMP卻著重於現代潮流,展覽內容涵蓋不同流行文化,例如音樂、電影、運動,甚至是電玩。我最喜歡的展覽是《西雅圖海鷹隊的必勝之路》,讓我得以一窺西雅圖美式足球隊的幕後秘辛。
Perhaps the EMP Museum is so unique because of the colorful people behind it. It was founded by Microsoft's Paul Allen in 2000, and designed by Frank Gehry, a famous Canadian architect. Just visit EMP and you will see that their hard work has really paid off.
或許EMP博物館的獨到之處,在於有趣的創辦人。此博物館由微軟的保羅‧ 艾倫於2000年所創,並由知名的加拿大建築師法蘭克‧ 蓋瑞所設計。只要一遊EMP,你就會理解他們的心血造成多大的迴響。
