The Metropolitan Museum of Art 大都会艺术博物馆 The Metropolitans new director gives his firstinterview 与大都会博物馆新管理人的初次面谈 I FEEL like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz picked up by a whirlwind and dropped down ina land where everything is much more brightly coloured, says Thomas Campbell, who onJanuary 1st became the new director and CEO of New Yorks Metropolitan Museum of Art.His description is both apt and unexpected. 我感觉像《绿野仙踪》里的桃乐茜;被一阵旋风刮起,然后在一个地方掉了下来,那里一切都是色彩斑斓,托马斯?坎贝尔的描述恰如其分,也令人出乎意外。元月一日他成为了纽约大都会艺术博物馆的新任管理人和行政总裁。 Until five months ago, the British-born 46-year-old, educated at Oxford University andLondons Courtauld Institute of Art, was by his own account, an open shirt, tweed jacket sortof guy. He liked to clear his diary to give time to his research and writing. Now he ownsseveral new suits and has a crammed schedule. The studies to which he has devoted thepast 20 years have had to become a hobby, like the watercolours he paints. The Campbellshave moved from the suburbs to a flat near the Fifth Avenue museum. It comes with whatmany consider the international museum worlds top job. |
