点评:We visited the Gallery on the recommendation of relatives and we were not disappointed. Not only were the artworks incredible the volunteers were so friendly and informative about the artists, local area history and in particular the mining industry. It was not only a pleasure to listen to them but so interesting and informative. The Gallery is on 2 floors and the top floor is usually dedicated to a temporary exhibition while the ground floor holds the permanent collection. Do not miss the small video show behind red velvet curtains on the ground floor showing a video depicting a young tracker boy down the mine. Get your tissues out. Visiting the Gallery was both an uplifting experience and very moving and a stark reminder of the difficulties and horrors of working in the mines and the past. Even if your not particularly interested in art or history a visit is so worth it. Cannot recommend highly enough.
翻译:我们是在亲戚的推荐下参观了画廊,我们并没有失望。不仅艺术品令人难以置信,志愿者们也非常友好,对艺术家、当地历史,特别是采矿业了如指掌。听他们讲话不仅是一种乐趣,而且非常有趣和信息量大。画廊有两层楼,顶楼通常用于临时展览,而底楼则用于永久收藏。千万不要错过底楼红色天鹅绒窗帘后面的小型视频节目,其中播放着一个描绘年轻纤夫下矿的视频。准备好纸巾。参观画廊既是一次令人振奋的经历,也非常感人,它清楚地提醒了你在矿井和过去工作的困难和恐怖。即使你对艺术或历史不是特别感兴趣,参观也是值得的。强烈推荐。
