点评:My wife and I use Ottawa's Gray Line bus tour hop-on, hop-off bus tour to visit the museum on 9/5/26. The bus stop is directly across the street from the museum. We had purchased tickets ahead of time, for which I am glad as when we entered the lobby it was not obvious where to go to check in and have the tickets scanned. We finally went to the information desk and they scanned our tickets and stamped our hands. The museum feels like a city unto itself - the building is huge, there were lots of employees working, and tons of people visiting their incredible exhibits. There was so much to see - we could have been there for three days - and feels on par with the museums around Washington DC. The employees, the museum map, and the exhibit panels are bilingual. The ground floor (which is below the floor you enter from the street) has a large cafe and exhibits about the First Peoples. The second floor (where you enter from the street) had a special virtual reality experience about Napoleon, an area with tables to sit (although the food court is on the floor below), and a theater. The third floor has three separate exhibits about Canadian's history, organized by time periods. Restrooms are tucked away on all three floors. Whoever curated these exhibits did an excellent job. Even after being in the museum for almost 5 hours, we still did not have a chance to see everything. We hope to come back on our next trip to Ottawa so we can see the remaining exhibits on the third floor. From Ottawa's Parliament buildings, it is approximately a 1.3 mile walk to the museum which would not be too far if the weather is good.
翻译:我和妻子于26年9月5日乘坐渥太华的格雷线随上随下巴士游览团前往参观博物馆。巴士站就在博物馆街对面。我们事先购买了门票,这点做得很明智,因为当我们走进大厅后,完全不知道该去哪里办理登记手续以及扫描门票。最后我们来到咨询台,工作人员为我们扫描了门票并在我们手上盖了章。这座博物馆宛如一座独立的“城市”——建筑规模极为宏大。有很多工作人员在忙碌着,还有大量游客正在参观那些精彩的展览。有太多值得观看的内容了——我们本可以在那里待上三天呢——其水准可与华盛顿特区周边的各大博物馆相媲美。工作人员、博物馆地图以及展览说明牌均为双语版本。底层(即从街道入口进入后的楼层)设有一间大型咖啡馆,还有关于原住民的展览。二楼(从街道进入的楼层)设有一个关于拿破仑的虚拟现实体验区、一个可供休憩的用餐区(不过美食广场其实在楼下),还有一个剧院。三楼则有三个按时间顺序排列的展览,分别讲述加拿大的历史。三层的各个角落都设有洗手间。策划这些展览的人做得非常出色。即便在博物馆里待了近5个小时,我们仍然没有机会看完所有的展品。希望下次来渥太华时能再回来,这样就能参观三楼剩下的展品了。从渥太华的议会大厦步行到博物馆大约需要1.3英里,如果天气不错的话,这段路程也不算远。
