Excellent Small Museum Attached to the Thiepval Memorial
Historial de la Grande Guerre - Musée de Thiepval的点评
点评:This is a small museum attached to the very large Thiepval Memorial.
We’d stopped at the Memorial not realising that there was a museum. It’s a fairly discreet building, next to the car park.
There is a free section spread out around the lobby area and you can pay to enter the main exhibition section. We were visiting at the end of our day and had run out of time so we just looked around the free part which was excellent.
The best part was the timeline. The chronology of the war was laid out in relatively simple terms on large information panels that unfolded throughout the lobby rooms. This was one of the best overviews of WWI that I had seen.
Another large panel had row after row of faces of missing WWI soldiers. Whilst it was a very sad panel, it was kind of comforting to know that their faces and memories were still being acknowledged and remembered.
If like us, you are doing a self-driving tour of the Western Front, then there is a lot to see in this area. Other nearby WWI sites to visit include Mouquet Farm, Ulster Tower, Thiepval Woods, the First Australian Division Memorial, and Pozieres Cemetery.
翻译:这是一座小型博物馆,与规模宏大的蒂耶普瓦尔纪念碑相连。
我们在纪念碑前停下来时,竟然不知道这里有博物馆。纪念碑是一栋相当低调的建筑,毗邻停车场。
大厅周围有一个免费区域,您可以付费进入主展览区。我们参观的时间已经快到尾声了,时间不够了,所以只参观了免费区域,非常棒。
最棒的是时间线。大厅各处都设有大型信息面板,以相对简洁的语言展示了战争的年表。这是我见过的关于一战的最好的概览之一。
另一块大型面板上,一排排印着失踪的一战士兵的面孔。虽然这块面板令人感到悲伤,但知道他们的面孔和记忆仍在被人们铭记,也让人感到些许安慰。
如果您像我们一样,正在自驾游西线战场,那么这里有很多值得一看的地方。附近其他值得参观的一战遗址包括穆凯农场 (Mouquet Farm)、阿尔斯特塔 (Ulster Tower)、蒂耶普瓦尔森林 (Thiepval Woods)、澳大利亚第一师纪念碑和波济耶尔公墓 (Pozieres Cemetery)。
