点评:I was here years ago, and both the space and collection have expanded significantly since then (also the area now feels 'safe', which is nice). Some of that expansion is 10k square feet devoted to deaths of the Popes. And some of the Presidential exhibit was well, just of lesser quality - leave it at that. Unfortunately, though there's reverence here, this really does fall into the kitsch section. Loved the funeral transportation aspect. And there's some great history on how societies dealt with death. Inevitable, and there needs to be some system and one supposes a profession to manage it. If you spend some time reading, there's a lot of good information here and this is a really good rainy day stop - or allot some time (a least 90 minutes, but more if you are thorough) on the way to GWB airport.
翻译:我几年前来过这里,从那时起,展厅的面积和藏品都显著扩大了(而且现在这片区域感觉很“安全”,这很好)。其中一万平方英尺的扩建部分专门用于展示教皇的逝世。至于总统展品,嗯,质量确实不如以前——就此打住吧。可惜的是,尽管这里充满敬意,但它确实属于媚俗展区。我很喜欢关于葬礼交通工具的展区。这里也展示了一些关于不同社会如何应对死亡的精彩历史。死亡是不可避免的,需要某种制度,或许还需要一个职业来处理它。如果你花些时间阅读,这里有很多有用的信息,这里也是一个非常不错的雨天休憩之地——或者在前往乔治·华盛顿大桥机场的路上,留出一些时间(至少90分钟,如果想仔细参观的话可以更久)。
