点评:One of the most fascinating museums in Washington, D.C. — and completely free to visit.
We really enjoyed our visit to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. The museum offers an incredible journey through the history of our planet, with something interesting around practically every corner.
Some of the highlights for us were seeing the legendary Hope Diamond, standing beneath the enormous whale in the Sant Ocean Hall, exploring the incredible dinosaur fossils in the David H. Koch Hall of Fossils – Deep Time, visiting the Hall of Human Origins, and seeing ancient Egyptian mummies up close.
The variety of exhibitions is impressive, and each gallery offers a completely different experience. You can easily spend several hours here, especially if you want to take your time and really explore the collections.
Another huge advantage is that admission is free, which makes this museum an excellent stop when exploring Washington, D.C.
One useful tip: if you arrive and see a long line at one entrance, don’t automatically join it. Walk around the building and check the entrance on the opposite side. When we visited, hundreds of people were waiting at one entrance, while we were able to enter through the other side in less than a minute. This simple tip saved us a considerable amount of time.
Whether you’re interested in natural history, science, dinosaurs, ancient civilizations, or simply discovering extraordinary places, this museum is definitely worth visiting.
A fascinating experience for both adults and children, and one of the places we would happily visit again when in Washington, D.C.
翻译:华盛顿特区最值得一去的博物馆之一——而且完全免费参观。
我们非常享受这次史密森尼国家自然历史博物馆之旅。这座博物馆带我们开启了一场穿越地球历史的奇妙之旅,几乎每个角落都有有趣的展品等着我们去发现。
对我们来说,最引人入胜的亮点包括亲眼目睹传奇般的“希望钻石”,站在桑特海洋馆里那只巨型鲸鱼的下方,以及观赏大卫·H·科克里安恐龙展厅中那些令人惊叹的恐龙化石。科赫化石馆——“深时”展区、人类起源馆,还有可以近距离观赏的古埃及木乃伊。
馆内展览种类丰富多样,每个展厅都带来截然不同的体验。你很容易在这里度过好几个小时,尤其是当你想慢慢欣赏、深入探索这些藏品时。
另一个巨大优势就是入场免费,这使得该博物馆成为游览华盛顿特区时不可错过的好去处。一个实用的小窍门:如果你到达后发现某个入口处排着长队,也别急着去排队。不妨绕着大楼走一圈,看看另一侧的入口情况。我们参观时,有几百人挤在一个入口前等候,而我们则从另一侧仅用不到一分钟就顺利入内了。这个简单的小技巧为我们省下了大量时间。
无论你对自然历史、科学、恐龙、古代文明感兴趣,还是只是想探寻一些非凡的去处……这个博物馆绝对值得一逛。
无论对大人还是孩子来说都是一次极富趣味的体验;也是我们身处华盛顿特区时会乐意再次造访的地方之一。
