点评:Hands down the highlight of our day, what an absolute hidden gem this was for us to stumble across! As two sci-fi/fantasy nerds, we couldn't believe our luck. We had a very warm welcome from Anthony (such a lovely chap!) who we had the pleasure of chatting with both on the way in and on the way out; it's not hard to tell that Creaturama is his passion and that warmth for his craft shone through the entire exhibit - so good we wandered around it a few times!
The sculptures were fascinating, the displays were informative, the music was ethereal and fun! In a world full of technology and computer-generated things, it felt really grounding and immersive to see handmade creatures with hours of attention poured into them.
The gift shop was lovely, there were some really beautiful prints and pieces of original art, books, figures, and other little bits and bobs. We came home with a print and a cute little Halloween Wubble, who is going to guard our bookshelf.
Definitely worth a visit!
翻译:毫无疑问,这是我们当天最精彩的体验——我们真是偶然间发现了这块绝对的“隐藏宝藏”啊!作为两个科幻/奇幻迷,我们简直不敢相信自己如此幸运。Anthony热情地接待了我们(他真是个可爱的人!),我们在进馆和离馆时都有幸与他聊了几句。从整个展览中不难看出,Creaturama正是他的毕生心血所在,他对自己工作的热忱也贯穿于每一个展项之中——精彩到我们绕着展馆逛了好几圈呢!
那些雕塑作品也十分引人入胜。展出的作品极具信息量,音乐则空灵又有趣!在这个充斥着各种科技产品和电脑生成内容的时代,能够看到那些倾注了无数心血亲手制作的玩偶,真是令人感到踏实又身临其境。
纪念品商店也很棒,里面有许多精美的印刷品、原创艺术品、书籍、玩偶以及其他小物件。我们买下了一幅印刷品,还有一个可爱的万圣节主题小玩偶——它将会守护我们的书架呢。绝对值得一游!
