点评:I visited once as a child and it terrified me, so I knew I was in for a treat returning all these years later.
My fiance and I love all things occult and esoteric so we were so excited to visit. Entry fee is a mere £7 for the hours we spent there, mooching around, reading and looking at everything. I’m aware that since the devastating flood in 2004 that they had had to repair and restore their archives and so it’s very different from when I was a child – but in a good way. We spent ages wandering through the exhibits and reading the wealth of knowledge on offer. We particularly enjoyed the ginormous baphomet upstairs. We got to experience the museum during the middle of a late spring thunderstorm so we have memories of standing in the attic space with thunder and lightning outside, with rain thundering the roof and watching it through the windows. Truly a magical experience and we felt renewed upon leaving – especially since the sun had come out! It’s one of our favourite days of our holiday and we even spent a pound to turn the fortune wheel in which I asked “When are we getting married?” It told me to be patient and…just two days later, we got engaged! Our visit to the museum will linger long and beautifully in our collective memory and we want to thank the lovely stuff at the museum who are all enthusiastic and very kind indeed.
We will be back!

我和未婚夫都热爱神秘学和玄学,所以我们对这次参观非常兴奋。门票只要7英镑,我们在那里待了好几个小时,四处闲逛,阅读资料,欣赏各种展品。我知道自从2004年那场毁灭性的洪水之后,他们不得不修复和重建馆藏,所以现在和我小时候去的时候很不一样了——不过是往好的方向发展。我们花了很长时间在展品间漫步,阅读丰富的资料。我们尤其喜欢楼上那尊巨大的巴风特雕像。我们去的时候正值晚春雷雨交加,所以我们还记得站在阁楼里,外面雷鸣电闪,雨水敲打着屋顶,我们透过窗户看着这一切。这真是一次神奇的体验,离开的时候我们感觉焕然一新——尤其是太阳出来之后!这是我们假期中最喜欢的一天,我们甚至还花了一英镑去转动幸运轮盘,我问:“我们什么时候结婚?”轮盘告诉我耐心等待……结果仅仅两天后,我们就订婚了!这次博物馆之旅将永远珍藏在我们美好的回忆中,我们想感谢博物馆里所有热情友善的工作人员。
我们还会再来的!
