点评:I visited the QVMAG Museum on holiday as an international visitor. I also work in the museum sector in my home country.
The museum has a significant number of collections on display in both permanent and temporary exhibitions. The museum is well laid out and is very professionally presented. The front counter staff were very helpful and friendly on my arrival.
As a foreigner I found it very insightful to learn about the local history and prehistory of Launceston and Tasmania. The highlights for me were the Thylacine exhibit 'Precious Little Remains' and two temporary exhibitions highlighting local wetland ecosystems and the HJ King photographic collections. I spent several hours perusing the galleries and could've stayed longer. I found this museum much more engaging and than the state museum in Hobart (TMAG).
One thing I did feel was lacking was a dedicated representation of the local aboriginal history. I understand this a complex and fraught topic within collecting institutions and as a foreigner I'm not fully aware of the challenges and processes here in Australia. The recent temporary Wetlands exhibition does have a section acknowledging the local aboriginal people abd their relationship to the area.
The museum also has an excellent gift shop (better than most) featuring many Tasmanian and Australian made products.
翻译:我作为一名国际游客在假期参观了 QVMAG 博物馆。我还在祖国的博物馆部门工作。
该博物馆在永久和临时展览中展出了大量藏品。博物馆布置得很好,展示也非常专业。当我到达时,前台工作人员非常乐于助人且友好。
作为一个外国人,我发现了解朗塞斯顿和塔斯马尼亚的当地历史和史前史非常有见地。对我来说最精彩的是 Thylacine 展览“珍贵的小遗迹”和两个强调当地湿地生态系统和 HJ King 摄影收藏的临时展览。我花了几个小时仔细浏览了画廊,本来可以停留更长时间。我发现这个博物馆比霍巴特州立博物馆(TMAG)更有吸引力。
我确实觉得缺乏的一件事是对当地原住民历史的专门描述。我知道这是收藏机构中一个复杂而令人担忧的话题,作为一个外国人,我并不完全了解澳大利亚面临的挑战和流程。最近的临时湿地展览确实有一个部分承认当地原住民及其与该地区的关系。
博物馆还有一家很棒的礼品店(比大多数礼品店都好),出售许多塔斯马尼亚和澳大利亚制造的产品。
