点评:I’ll just be honest right up front—we didn’t love it. We’ve traveled extensively and we’ve been to A LOT of museums and this one just fell really flat to us. We all agreed that it’s too “museum-y.” There is not much that is interactive or audio/visual. There were a lot of cowboy paintings and sculptures and artifacts, and a lot of panels of information on the wall to read, but just not a lot to bring cowboy history and culture to life. I was hoping for more stories of American cowboys—maybe video histories or testimonies from ranching families or rodeo cowboys. It was just kind of boring.
Logistically speaking, the layout is very confusing and the flow is hard to follow—we kept missing rooms and our group got separated and we actually struggled to find each other for a bit. Also, when we were visiting, there was a lot of very loud construction going on inside the museum—that made it a somewhat unpleasant experience, too. If we’d known that ahead of time, we may have skipped it. The one plus is that it had a fantastic gift shop. If you’re short on time in OKC, this is one site that I’d skip.
翻译:我先坦白说——我们并不喜欢它。我们游历过很多地方,也去过很多博物馆,但这个博物馆给我们留下的印象实在太平淡了。我们都觉得它太“博物馆化”了。互动性和视听体验都很少。虽然有很多牛仔绘画、雕塑和文物,墙上也有很多信息板可以阅读,但鲜活地展现牛仔历史和文化的内容却寥寥无几。我原本希望看到更多关于美国牛仔的故事——也许是视频历史,或者牧场主家庭或牛仔竞技表演牛仔的证词。结果就是有点无聊。
从逻辑上讲,博物馆的布局非常混乱,流程也很难跟上——我们经常错过房间,我们的团队走散了,有一段时间我们甚至很难找到彼此。此外,我们参观的时候,博物馆里有很多非常吵闹的施工现场——这也让参观体验有些不愉快。如果我们事先知道的话,我们可能就没去那里了。唯一的优点是那里有一家很棒的礼品店。如果你在俄克拉荷马城时间不多,我建议你不要去这个地方。
