点评:Visiting Burke Museum yesterday was a delightful experience .
Huge collection on National History that is very interesting and fascinating to go through
Also the only one I have seen in Seattle so far presenting multifaceted Native American / Hawaii and Pacific islands - artifacts culture costume totems etc. The playing of Native American words / language gives a real feel on communication . Also the challenges and impact on the community due to colonisation is well presented.
The presentation is lucid of every aspects of archaeology ,paleontology and more - enough for a school student or laymen to understand . The presence of students and being near University also adds to the enthusiasm of visitors
Displays of Darwins Theory of Evolution and how cells plants animals grow is very well presented in visually appealing models and one is able to see linkages
Fascinated to learn 1st time how archaeologists go about their jobs identifying areas , digging without damaging and researching on each place. There is a section on Seattle also although there is a similar section in MOHAI of layers of development of the city
The see thru glass work places of museum professionals and their display tables on what they are working helps understand process and subjects very well and is something I have seen for the first time.
Also activities were going on for children / students including to my surprise a Hindi language teaching class as well
Outstanding museum which seems lively and communicates well with the viewer than just a passive presentation of objects
Has a great cafe and a museum shop, lockers for bags , water coolers and rest rooms
翻译:昨天参观伯克博物馆是一次愉快的经历。
馆内收藏了大量国家历史文物,引人入胜,令人着迷。
这也是迄今为止我在西雅图看到的唯一一个如此全面地展示美洲原住民/夏威夷和太平洋岛屿的博物馆,包括文物、文化、服饰、图腾等等。美洲原住民的语言/词汇运用,营造出一种真实的交流体验。此外,博物馆还很好地展现了殖民化给社区带来的挑战和影响。
博物馆清晰地讲解了考古学、古生物学等各个方面,足以让学生或普通民众理解。学生的到场以及博物馆靠近大学也增加了参观者的热情。
达尔文进化论以及细胞、植物和动物生长的模型展示得非常直观,让人能够看到其中的联系。
第一次了解考古学家是如何进行区域识别、无损挖掘和研究每个地方的,让我非常着迷。虽然MOHAI也有类似的章节介绍西雅图的城市发展,但这里也有关于西雅图的专题。
博物馆专业人员的透明玻璃工作间以及他们展示工作内容的展台,有助于更好地了解工作过程和主题,这是我首次看到。
此外,还为儿童/学生举办了各种活动,令我惊讶的是,竟然还有一门印地语教学课。
博物馆非常出色,充满活力,与参观者进行良好的沟通,而不仅仅是被动地展示展品。
博物馆内有很棒的咖啡馆和商店,还有行李储物柜、饮水机和休息室。
