点评:I thought the museum was very clean, nice and beautifully located, but I really would have wished for better focus on themes. I felt like I was missing the history of Grand Rapids except for a few displays. Perhaps there is another history museum that covers that, but the family hoped to learn more, and we were pretty much overwhelmed by the dissimilar or trite information at every corner, but no immersive theme.
The toy display, for example, was out of place and didn’t fit with surrounding displays. As far as I could tell it had nothing to do with the area or town. Around that display we felt like we would hurry through and get out. It was stifling.
In contrast, the Gerald R Ford museum across the street was thematic, told a story and didn’t divert from the message. The bottom line is, tell it like a story. The GRPM doesn’t do this yet. I hope they will and I’ll come back to learn.
翻译:我认为博物馆非常干净、漂亮,位置也很漂亮,但我真的希望能更好地关注主题。除了一些展示之外,我觉得我错过了大急流城的历史。也许还有另一个历史博物馆涵盖了这些内容,但家人希望了解更多,而我们对每个角落的不同或陈腐的信息几乎不知所措,但没有身临其境的主题。
例如,玩具展示位置不合适,与周围的展示不协调。据我所知,这与该地区或城镇无关。围绕着那个展示,我们感觉我们会赶紧穿过并出去。真是令人窒息。
相比之下,街对面的杰拉尔德·R·福特博物馆是有主题的,讲述了一个故事,并且没有偏离信息。最重要的是,像讲故事一样讲它。 GRPM 还没有这样做。我希望他们会,我也会回来学习。
