Fascinating cultural educational experience
Hand of Man - Museum of Natural History, Cultural Arts & Conservation的点评
点评:We stopped off here on the way to Ladysmith as the weather was really bad with storm like torrential rain☔️🌪️🌨️ and we were looking for somewhere to hunker down. ☔️
Well this turned out to be a good chance choice and an amazing cultural experience.
Access is easy as there is a large free car park right outside the museum and good facilities inside (A rest room and shop but no cafe) The museum is housed in an old school.
We were welcomed by a well informed and cheerful receptionist. We were given an electronic tablet to take around the museum and a clear explanation on how to use it with the numbers at each display. This was very useful indeed and a great idea as then the displays were less cluttered
We were only expecting a display of first nation artefacts but it turned out that the museum was packed full with cultural artefacts from around the word and it was astounding! You could spend a couple of days taking all this in and certainly a day!! Its good for children (I would say little ones not so much?) as well as adults and certainly ensures the visitor leaves with a lot of new knowledge from cultural communities around the world
The museum is well laid out as you go room to room and there are a lot of natural history and prehistoric displays intermingled with the cultural exhibits that are equally as interesting
Top tip: This is a great stop off from Victoria on the way to ladysmith or Duncan or as a destination in its own right
All in all this museum is a keeper and a well curated tour around the world and well worth a visit
翻译:去往莱迪史密斯的路上,我们因为天气恶劣,暴雨倾盆而下☔️🌪️🌨️,急需找个地方避雨,所以在这里稍作停留。☔️
结果证明,这是一个绝佳的选择,也是一次令人难忘的文化体验。
博物馆交通便利,门口就有一个大型免费停车场,馆内设施也不错(有洗手间和商店,但没有咖啡馆)。博物馆位于一所旧校舍内。
一位知识渊博、热情友好的接待员接待了我们。她给我们提供了一台平板电脑,方便我们参观,并详细讲解了如何使用,每个展品旁边都有编号。这真是个好主意,因为这样一来,展品摆放就更加整齐了。
我们原本以为这里只会展出一些原住民文物,没想到博物馆里竟然收藏了来自世界各地的文化文物,真是令人叹为观止!即使只待上几天,也绝对值得花上一整天的时间慢慢欣赏!它对孩子(我觉得小孩子可能不太适合?)和成年人都很有吸引力,而且肯定能让参观者带着来自世界各地文化的丰富知识离开。
博物馆布局合理,各个展厅之间衔接流畅,自然历史和史前展品与同样引人入胜的文化展品交相辉映。
温馨提示:从维多利亚前往莱迪史密斯或邓肯的途中,这里是一个绝佳的停留点,当然,它本身也是一个值得专程前往的目的地。
总而言之,这座博物馆值得收藏,它精心策划了一场环球之旅,非常值得一游。
