点评:Being solo on this trip i thought I'd best try the local museum to learn about the local culture and how the island came to be inhabited.
Located at the bottom of the town its easy to find and as with everything in Longyearbyen it's spotlessly clean.
As you go in, the usual shoes off, hang coats up and bags in lockers occurs. Lockers are good size, lockable and free .
The souvenir bit is the first thing you see and is quite good but is not the cheap commercial tat. Receptionist desk behind the souvenirs bit is new to me but she was polite enough and explained what was where.
Please note they do not take cash here!
The museum is small, and is mostly information boards and stuffed animals. Don't get me wrong, the information is excellent and the animals lifelike and varied. I did the whole thing in 20 minutes. Did I read every board? No, but I was able to see every display and understand the amazing heritage of the island and culture with ease.
I suspect that out of everything on the island it is one of the least profitable places which may reflect the price. 150 Krone is possibly not a lot compared to other things to do here in Svalbard but is it worth the £11 to walk around, I'd say not. However, if it's ensuring the preservation of the town and island then I'm happy to support it how I can.
Are there better activities? Most definitely and even just walking around the town is breathtaking at times.
If you are really interested in the culture and history then it's for you. Is it for kids? I'd say they'd be bored within a minute!
翻译:这次旅行我独自一人,我想我最好去当地的博物馆了解当地的文化以及岛上是如何有人居住的。
位于镇底,很容易找到,和朗伊尔城的所有地方一样,这里一尘不染。
当你进去时,像往常一样脱掉鞋子,挂上外套,把包放进储物柜。储物柜大小合适,可上锁,而且免费。
你首先看到的是纪念品,相当不错,但不是廉价的商业纪念品。纪念品后面的接待台对我来说很陌生,但她很有礼貌,解释了东西在哪里。
请注意,他们不收现金!
博物馆很小,主要是信息板和毛绒动物。别误会我的意思,信息很棒,动物栩栩如生,多种多样。我在 20 分钟内就看完了整个博物馆。我读过每一块板子了吗?没有,但我能够看到每一个展览,并轻松了解这个岛屿和文化的惊人遗产。
我怀疑,在岛上的所有地方中,它是利润最低的地方之一,这可能反映了价格。与斯瓦尔巴群岛的其他活动相比,150 克朗可能不算多,但花 11 英镑四处走走值得吗?我认为不值得。但是,如果它能确保城镇和岛屿的保护,那么我很乐意尽我所能支持它。
还有更好的活动吗?绝对有,有时甚至只是在镇上散步也令人叹为观止。
如果你真的对文化和历史感兴趣,那么它适合你。适合孩子吗?我想他们一分钟内就会感到无聊!
