On a river where they used to build the boats! - A Staple of Sunderland History
Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens的点评
点评:I visited the Sunderland Museum and Winter Gardens as a nice way to pass the day.
The museum offers free entry and has plenty of exhibits. I first had to see the staple of the museum which is Wallace the Lion who has been with the museum for over 160 years. There was a write up about how Wallace came to be in the museum which was nice to read about.
There were a few other areas which showed off the history of the mines and celebrated the miners unions etc.
I continued on the bottom floor to the winter gardens, filled with lovely tropical plants and a dinosaur exhibit with facts throughout. There is the lovely addition of a small pond full of Koi Carp.
There were also some displays regarding archaeological findings around Sunderland such as skeletons of various animals and humans, with plaques labelling where they were found and what era they were from.
The next exhibit was of what life was like through the years, showing how styles changed over the decades.
There was also an exhibit showing off Sunderland’s shipyards in all their glory. Multiple models of ships manufactured down the docks and history behind each of them. It was a really great thing to see.
Well worth visiting when visiting Sunderland.
翻译:我参观了桑德兰博物馆和冬季花园,以此来度过美好的一天。
博物馆免费入场,展品丰富。我首先要看的是博物馆的标志性展品——狮子华莱士,它已经在博物馆待了 160 多年。博物馆里有一篇关于华莱士如何来到博物馆的文章,读起来很有趣。
还有其他几个区域展示了矿场的历史,庆祝了矿工工会等。
我继续在底层参观冬季花园,那里种满了可爱的热带植物,还有一个恐龙展览,到处都是事实。还有一个可爱的小池塘,里面满是锦鲤。
还有一些关于桑德兰周边考古发现的展览,比如各种动物和人类的骨骼,上面有牌匾标明它们的发现地点和时代。
下一个展览是多年来的生活,展示了几十年来风格的变化。
还有一个展览展示了桑德兰造船厂的辉煌。码头上制造的多种船舶模型以及每艘船背后的历史。这真是一件值得一看的事情。
参观桑德兰时非常值得一看。
