点评:Located in the heart of Coatbridge, a museum dedicated to local industry.
Plenty of free parking.
The site has plenty to see from the main museum building housing toilets and a cafe plus satellite buildings housing more machinery, cottages - each giving a view of furnishings of an era plus a part canal.
Visitors get see an awful lot in a very short space of time. Exhibits are well laid out and information easy to read. Found the staff to be useful and friendly too.
Visited the on site cafe offering lite snacks / coffees / teas / drinks etc - thought prices were ok too.
Unfortunately the tram system was not working - an electrical fault, perhaps next time.
The down side if the museum is that there were a number of external exhibits in conservation vs being preserved. More shelter from the unpredictable Scottish climate is over due - my fear is that some exhibits may be on their last legs and when they are gone……
Despite this view, Summerlee should be on your bucket list. Simply a remarkable venue detailing an interesting history of industry / life in Scotland now sadly gone.
翻译:位于科特布里奇中心,是一座致力于当地工业的博物馆。
有大量免费停车位。
博物馆主楼内设有厕所和咖啡馆,卫星楼内设有更多机械和小屋,可欣赏到许多景点,每座卫星楼都可欣赏到某个时代的家具和部分运河。
游客可以在很短的时间内看到很多东西。展品布局合理,信息易于阅读。工作人员也乐于助人且友好。
参观了现场咖啡馆,那里提供小吃/咖啡/茶/饮料等,价格也还可以。
不幸的是,有轨电车系统无法运行 - 电气故障,也许下次吧。
博物馆的缺点是,许多外部展品处于保护状态,而不是得到保存。苏格兰变幻莫测的气候早就该有了更多的避难所 - 我担心有些展品可能已经快要完工,而当它们消失时……
尽管景色如此,萨默利还是应该列在您的必去清单上。这是一个令人惊叹的场所,详细介绍了苏格兰工业/生活的有趣历史,可惜现在已经不复存在。
