An interesting museum, but not so great for English speakers
Luxembourg National Museum of Natural History的点评
点评:We had a couple of hours here on a hot day. We really appreciated the cool air conditioning!
We suspect if you could read French or German you would have a different experience. Almost all of the written information displayed is on French or German.
We did use the audio guides and these do provide an English version. However we didn't really enjoy the audio guides. Within each room there was a long list of very short recordings to listen to, each of which - we worked out - related to one of the displays. The problem was, without understanding French or German it wasn't clear which of the displays the specific recording related to. Having a much smaller number of (longer) recordings for each room with clear linkages to the displays or the route you need to take would make it much easier to keep up and follow along.
We also think the information in the audio guides was fairly basic, my kids said they knew most of what was said through school..
After a few rooms we gave up with the audio guides and just did our best with Google Lens. This was a shame as we have been to attractions before where the audio guides really add an interesting dimension.
We realise we are visiting Luxembourg and that we are making huge presumptions that others will adjust to our inability to speak any language but our own. We are very grateful for the many efforts made to put up with this during our visit!
The staff were very friendly and plentiful (as we discovered in Luxembourg almost every room had a staff member)
翻译:在一个炎热的日子里,我们在这里待了几个小时。我们真的非常感激这里有凉爽的空调!
我们猜想,如果你会法语或德语的话,体验应该会大不相同。这里展示的几乎所有文字信息都是用法语或德语写的。
我们确实使用了语音导览,它确实提供英语版本。不过我们并不太喜欢这些语音导览。在每个展厅里都有一长串极短的录音供聆听。我们经研究确认,这些录音各自对应着其中的一个显示屏。问题在于,由于我们不懂法语或德语,因此无法确定某段录音具体对应哪个显示屏。如果每个房间能有数量较少但时长更长的录音,且这些录音能明确关联到相应的显示屏或需要行走的路线,那么游客就能更容易跟上讲解内容。
我们还认为,语音导览中所提供的信息相当基础。我的孩子们说,他们能听懂学校里说的大部分内容……
参观了几个展厅后,我们便放弃了使用语音导览器,转而尽力借助谷歌镜头来辅助参观。这挺可惜的,因为我们之前去过一些景点,那里的语音导览确实为参观增添了不少趣味。
我们也明白自己正在卢森堡旅行,也知道自己是在想当然地认为其他人会体谅我们只会说母语这一情况。我们非常感激在访问期间大家为应对这种情况所付出的诸多努力!
工作人员非常友善且数量众多(我们在卢森堡发现,几乎每个房间里都有工作人员)。
