点评:Having grown up in Edinburgh I enjoyed many school trips to the museum. Back then it captivated me and visiting again I found myself enjoying a slow place and taking in all the changes.
Yes the big doors are gone and the entrance is on a lower level. Not as grand on the outside but once through the revolving doors the new (well not so new no) is stunning. The stone arch with a restaurant at one end and shop at the other is stunning.
A visit to the museum is worth it just for the stunning architecture.
But there's so much more. The museum had grown and kept up to date with technology and remains relevant. It has something for everyone, of every age. It is interactive, encouraging curiosity. From the solar system, to animals, many no longer with us to ancient Scottish history and how many great thinkers came from Scotland and changed the world.
There is no charge however donations are welcome.
翻译:我在爱丁堡长大,小时候经常参加学校组织的博物馆参观活动。那时它就深深吸引了我。如今再次造访,我发现自己很享受这种慢节奏的参观方式,细细品味着博物馆的种种变化。
没错,那扇宏伟的大门已经不在了,入口也搬到了较低的楼层。外观上或许不如以前那么气派,但穿过旋转门之后,你会发现里面焕然一新(其实也不算新了),令人惊艳。石拱门一端是餐厅,另一端是商店,景色美不胜收。
光是欣赏这令人惊叹的建筑就值得一游。
但博物馆的魅力远不止于此。它不断发展壮大,与时俱进地运用科技,始终保持着与时俱进的地位。无论老少,每个人都能在这里找到乐趣。博物馆的互动性强,激发着人们的好奇心。从太阳系到各种动物(其中许多已经灭绝),再到古老的苏格兰历史,以及众多伟大的思想家如何从苏格兰走出,改变世界,博物馆应有尽有。
博物馆免费参观,但欢迎捐款。
