点评:I visited this museum in 2008 and remember really enjoying it and being fascinated by the history of the early skyscrapers. I can't clearly remember how the displays have changed since then but there didn't seem to be so much early material on display this time. It is a TINY museum but the whole central area of the room is currently taken up with a temporary exhibition about sustainable building materials. Around the edge there is some stuff about early skyscrapers and quite a lot about the World Trade Center. The most interesting thing was a screen showing panoramic photos of Manhattan through the decades, which you could swipe to show how it has changed. On the plus side, in 2008 it cost me five dollars and now it is FREE, although you do have to show ID at the entrance for some reason. (UK driving licence was accepted.) The shop has an interesting range of books on New York social history and architecture.
翻译:我于 2008 年参观过这个博物馆,记得我真的很喜欢它,并对早期摩天大楼的历史着迷。我不太清楚从那时起展示的内容发生了怎样的变化,但这一次似乎没有那么多早期的材料展示。这是一个很小的博物馆,但房间的整个中心区域目前都被一个关于可持续建筑材料的临时展览所占据。在边缘周围有一些关于早期摩天大楼的东西,还有很多关于世界贸易中心的东西。最有趣的是一个屏幕,显示几十年来曼哈顿的全景照片,你可以滑动它来显示它是如何变化的。从好的方面来说,2008 年我花了 5 美元,现在免费了,尽管出于某种原因你必须在入口处出示身份证件。 (接受英国驾驶执照。)这家商店有一系列关于纽约社会历史和建筑的有趣书籍。
