点评:If you happen to be in Thirsk and are looking for a really interesting thing to do, then look no further than the Thirsk Museum!
Run by volunteers, the museum is packed with interesting displays and information about Thirsk, its people and its noteable place within history.
We called in whilst simultaneously taking part in the Thirsk Blue Plaque trail and really enjoyed our visit.
We were given such a wonderfully warm welcome and made to feel very much at home.
I think it would be fair to say that the museum is a beautiful hodge-podge of artefacts and information spread over a number of rooms. Each room contains lots of history, and you could certainly visit here a few times and still find something new to look at!
If you are the sort of visitor who is expecting swish presentation, interactive displays and QR codes then you might be disappointed. However, I can tell you that the presentation is beautifully double mounted; easy to read; and lovingly curated. You get all the pertinent facts, all the stories... just without the bells and whistles.
It is so refreshing to find a local museum which actually IS about the locality and not full of stuffed birds, animals and questionable artefacts.
Thirsk Museum is for the people, about the people and by the people.
A big shout out must go to the volunteers who give up their time to enable the museum to open.
If you are a little unstable on your feet and struggle with stairs, then you might just wish to stay on the ground floor ...there is PLENTY to look at here including a recreated kitchen complete with a range.
It's FREE to visit, donations are most welcome but not forced.
Why not pop in?

博物馆由志愿者运营,馆内陈列着大量关于瑟斯克、当地居民及其历史地位的有趣展品和信息。
我们当时正在参加瑟斯克蓝牌之路的参观活动,顺便也参观了博物馆,体验非常棒。
我们受到了热情友好的接待,感觉就像回到了家一样。
可以说,博物馆就像一个精美的艺术品和信息宝库,分布在多个展厅中。每个展厅都蕴含着丰富的历史,即使您多次参观,也总能发现新的亮点!
如果您期待的是时尚的展示、互动式展览和二维码,那么您可能会感到失望。不过,我可以告诉您,这里的展品装裱精美,文字清晰易读,而且都是精心策划的。您将了解到所有相关的事实和故事……只是没有那些花哨的噱头。
能找到一家真正关注本地文化,而不是充斥着鸟类、动物标本和来路不明的文物的当地博物馆,真是令人耳目一新。
瑟斯克博物馆属于人民,讲述人民的故事,由人民创建。
在此特别感谢那些抽出时间让博物馆得以开放的志愿者们。
如果您行动不便,上下楼梯有困难,那么不妨待在一楼……这里有很多东西可以看,包括一个复原的厨房,里面甚至还有炉灶。
参观免费,欢迎捐款,但绝不强迫。
何不来逛逛呢?
