点评:Was mighty impressed with this small museum ... it is right up with the best local museum I have ever visited. A sign says it is run entirely by volunteers but the presentation and quality of the museum's exhibits belies that - I just can't believe some experienced professional museum curator types have not had a role in helping to organise and showcase the collections.
The museum is spread across a number of small buildings, with each building focusing on a particular facet of local history. One of the buildings is original to the site (an old schoolhouse), some have been moved here from other parts of the island such as the 1950s War Service Settlement Scheme Pay Office (preserved from the day it closed in the 1960s) and some have been reconstructed on site, such as the very basic 1920s mutton-birders' hut.
This museum should not be missed on any visit to FI, but one thing to note is the museum's limited opening hours. From May to December it is only open on weekends from 1 to 4pm. From Christmas to April it is open Tues-Sun, from 1 to 5pm.
翻译:这个小博物馆给我留下了深刻的印象……它是我参观过的最好的当地博物馆之一。标牌上写着它完全由志愿者管理,但博物馆展品的展示和质量却与此不符——我简直不敢相信一些经验丰富的专业博物馆馆长竟然没有参与组织和展示藏品。
博物馆分布在许多小建筑中,每栋建筑都侧重于当地历史的某一方面。其中一栋建筑是该遗址的原有建筑(一所旧校舍),有些建筑是从岛上其他地方搬到这里的,例如 1950 年代的战争服务安置计划薪酬办公室(自 1960 年代关闭之日起保留下来),有些建筑是在遗址上重建的,例如非常简陋的 1920 年代羊肉饲养员小屋。
参观 FI 时,不应错过这个博物馆,但有一点需要注意,博物馆的开放时间有限。从 5 月到 12 月,它只在周末下午 1 点到 4 点开放。从圣诞节到四月,开放时间为周二至周日,下午 1 点至 5 点。
