点评:The Wycombe Museum is housed in Castle Hill House, a fine 16th/17th Century building.
It is a short walk away from High Wycombe station.
Furniture and chair making were the principal industries in High Wycombe, and there is a multitude of examples of these crafts plus some informative videos and displays about chair production.
I enjoyed the recreation of a Victorian kitchen as well as the memorabilia relating to Wycombe Wanderers FC.
The life of local 17th century MP John Hampden is well portrayed. He was a Parliamentarian in the English Civil War and a staunch opponent of Charles I.
There’s a small room dedicated to art. It’s an eclectic collection with work by more modern local artists plus paintings by the likes of Joshua Reynolds and Peter Lely.
Admission is free and the museum is closed on Monday and Saturday.
翻译:威科姆博物馆设在城堡山楼内,这是一座具有历史价值的16至17世纪建筑。
从海伊威科姆火车站步行片刻即可抵达。
家具与椅子制造曾是海伊威科姆的主要产业,馆内陈列着大量相关工艺品,还有介绍椅子制作过程的视频与展览。
我很喜欢馆内复原的维多利亚风格厨房,以及那些与威科姆流浪者足球俱乐部相关的纪念品。17世纪本地议员约翰·汉普登的生平得到了生动的展现。他在英国内战中站在议会派一方,是查理一世的坚定反对者。
馆内有一个专门展示艺术品的的小展厅。这里收藏了各类风格各异的作品:既有当代本地艺术家的作品,也有约书亚·雷诺兹和彼得·莱利等大师的画作。
参观免费,博物馆在周一和周六闭馆。
