19.Our website is presenting to you the world's leading museums and gallaries:Smithsonian Institution,Washington,D.C.
The Smithsonian is one of the world's leading research and museum complexes,with 19museums and galleries,the National Zoological Park,and various research stations.More than 137million objects detailing America's history are exhibited here.There's so much to see that,if you spent every day and night looking at the exhibits at normal pace,in ten years you'd see only ten percent of the whole.Therefore,it's wise to head out with a plan.Focus on some famous exhibits at two or three different museums.
Le Louvre,Paris,France
The Louvre was a medieval fortress and the palace of the kings of France before becoming a museum two centuries ago.The addition of the Chinese architect I.M.Pei's stylish glass pyramid(金字塔) shocked many when it was opened to public in 1989as the new main entrance,yet it somehow works and has won compliment in the country,combining the palace's various elements to make the museum stand out as the most shinning diamond on the French artistic crown.The museum's collections,though failing to excel in numbers,are among the most important in the world.
The Acropolis Museum,Athens,Greece
The amazing groundfloor gallery houses were found from the slopes of the Acropolis( 卫城).Its amazing see-through glass floor provides a walk over history,with a view of the archaeological(考古的) digging.Smaller settlements have been dug out,providing glimpses of Athenian life.Despite its lack of variety in exhibits and limited collections,the Acropolis attracts audience by,for the first time,allowing visitors to take in the stone exhibits,which are displayed in open air characterized by changing natural light.
State Hermitage,St.Petersburg,Russia
Russia may be isolated from the artistic centers of the US or West Europe,but the Hermitage has managed to acquire a spectacular collection of world art-three million items in numbers.The museum occupies six buildings along the Neva River,the leading structure being the candy-like Winter Palace.This gloriously blue-and-white structure was finished in 1764and over the next several centuries was the main residence of the czars(沙皇).The museum's leading attraction is Western European art-in 120rooms in four buildings ranging from the Middle Ages to the present day.
