点评:Beautiful modern building. The main floor and upper balcony is mostly artwork. The actual museum is the whole lower level. It's a long maze of passageways through the chronological passage of civilization. I enjoy artifacts and plaques explaining historical events and stories. But I think children would probably find it boring. They tried to make it realistic and interesting by having the floors made out of stones, bricks, boards, and coal. But for anybody with limited mobility issues, it makes getting around more stressful. Plus they purposely have many rooms dimly lit, to create atmosphere and then highlight special exhibits with direct lighting. It may create an atmosphere, but it makes it harder to see some of the non highlighted exhibits, and were to put your feet as you walk. There's plenty to learn about West Virginia and it's history. But I would suggest they tried too hard to make it artistic and ended up making it less appealing to old folks and children. It's free, and they have some free literature. You can go through quickly in an hour, or slow down and learn much more in three hours.
翻译:美丽的现代建筑。主楼层和上层阳台主要是艺术品。实际博物馆是整个下层。这是一个长长的迷宫,贯穿着文明的年代。我喜欢文物和牌匾,它们解释了历史事件和故事。但我认为孩子们可能会觉得它很无聊。他们试图通过用石头、砖块、木板和煤铺地板来使它变得真实有趣。但对于任何行动不便的人来说,这会让四处走动更加紧张。此外,他们故意让许多房间光线昏暗,以营造氛围,然后用直接照明突出特殊展品。它可能会营造一种氛围,但它会使一些非重点展品更难看到,而且走路时会把脚放在哪里。有很多关于西弗吉尼亚州及其历史的知识可以学习。但我认为他们太努力让它变得艺术化,最终让它对老年人和孩子不那么有吸引力。它是免费的,他们有一些免费的文学作品。你可以在一个小时内快速浏览,或者放慢速度,在三个小时内学到更多。
