[旅行] 最美的藝術品是人 The Most Beautiful Collection is the Kindness of People ── Korundi House of Culture

        我喜愛藝術，但我不是現代藝術的喜好者，每次造訪現代藝術美術館都有種走進外星世界的迷惘。因此，除非是特別有名，我很少造訪現代藝術美術館。這次在Rovaniemi，我造訪了以展示芬蘭現代藝術為主的Korundi House of Culture因為沒什麼地方可去，外面又太冷，而我們的沙發主剛好學藝術有推薦我們。

        I like art but I am not a fan of modern art. Every time I visit modern art museums, rather than appreciation, I feel bewildered. Thus, I rarely visit modern art museums, except those that are really famous. During my stay in Rovaniemi, I visited Korundi House of Culture which exhibits modern arts. I did so because Rovaniemi is such a small city and there are not many things to do. Also, my couch surfing host is an art education major and she recommended us to go there. Another reason is that it was simply too cold out there, and I just wanted to visit any place with nice heaters.

        一開始看，完全不出我意料，根本看不懂。我晃來晃去，走馬看花。剛好我看見一間很像展覽廳的小房間，走進去一看，才發現是辦公室，我只好趕快道歉走出去。沒想到這時一個時髦的小姐走出來並追上來，自我介紹說她是這裡的員工，可以幫我們導覽。

        The art collections were just as I expected. I could not understand them. I walked around, feeling bored. I walked into a room, which I thought was an exhibit room. The moment I walked in, I knew I walked into an office room instead. I felt embarrassed, apologized and went out immediately. However, a lady in stylish clothes walked to me and offered to tour me around.

        她一說我們還被她的熱情嚇到，後來便跟著她走。她講解相當精闢，對於創作背後的故事描述得活靈活現。而她對藝術品本身的構圖和顏色也相當了解。對我這個外行的大俗人而言，有了他的解說，彷彿作品有了生命，我開始欣賞並了解作品。

        She is an employee in the museum and she was really enthusiastic. She introduced the painters and told stories behind the paintings. She pointed out key differences between similar art works and gave opinions and comments on the colors. Her description was so vivid that she gave the art work lives. Through her guidance, I had a much better understanding of the art collections.

        而當我看見這兩幅圖時，她問我喜歡哪幅，對於我喜歡黑色的她相當驚訝，因為這和大多數的人選擇不同。她鼓勵我發表我的評論，並熱情的和我們閒聊。因為她的溫暖善良，讓這座美術館成為我在歐洲最喜歡的美術館之一。我想，最美麗的藝術品，是人。

         She was astounded when I preferred the black picture while most people preferred the white one. She encouraged me to express my viewpoints on the art pieces. I had a wonderful time with her, and I really appreciate her guide. She made this art museum one of my favorite museums I visited. In Korundi House of Culture, the most beautiful collection is the kindness of people.
