点评:Recently visited the Geraldine Military Museum in South Canterbury, was very impressed by the professionalism & variety of the displays. Covering 20th Century through to present day with emphasis on ANZAC subjects, plus pleasantly surprised to see some neat US in Vietnam & WW2 German vignettes.
Team members Deb & Don were on duty, both couldn’t be more helpful. They said displays are regularly changed out, for example, while I was there they were working on a sandbagged sangar in the foyer, which was to double as a new reception area.
The small entry fee was worth every cent, although I was only able to spend a short time there it deserves taking a couple of hours to study all exhibits, along with the useful library section too. Would be neat in future to see books & other memorabilia available too. I know I will be back, not sure when, however took lots of photos for reference & to share with others to see what’s on offer.
Recommend a good day trip if you live in Canterbury, or if you’re passing through do stop in & check it out.
You’ll be wiser as a result …
翻译:最近参观了位于南坎特伯雷的杰拉尔丁军事博物馆,其专业性和丰富的展品给我留下了深刻的印象。博物馆涵盖了从20世纪至今的军事历史,重点展示了澳新军团(ANZAC)的相关内容,此外,我还惊喜地发现了一些关于美军在越南战争和二战德军的精美场景。
工作人员黛布和唐热情周到,非常乐于助人。他们告诉我,展品会定期更换。例如,我参观的时候,他们正在大厅里搭建一个沙袋掩体,之后会将其用作新的接待区。
门票价格不高,但绝对物超所值。虽然我只待了很短的时间,但博物馆值得花几个小时仔细参观所有展品,包括馆内丰富的图书馆藏书。如果以后能提供书籍和其他纪念品就更好了。我知道我还会再来的,只是时间还没定。我拍了很多照片,可以留作参考,也可以分享给其他人,让他们了解博物馆的展品。
如果你住在坎特伯雷,或者路过这里,我强烈推荐你来这里一日游。
你会因此受益匪浅……
