点评:First, parking on narrow cobblestone streets is scarce, so plan on using the multi-story parking garage (at $8 per hour).
Skip the optional ($5) video which is about sea turtles, not whaling. Good if you want to learn more about that, but not our cup of tea.
Many great artifacts, including a half-size replica of a real whaling ship, but full size people can barely move around on board, so admire from outside.
This museum started in the early 1900s and its layout and exhibits are pretty much the old "cabinet of curiosities" lacking a cohesive overall theme and most lack modern exhibit techniques.
There is an excess of "woke" diversity emphasis, above the appropriate acknowledgement of the contributions of individuals from many regions and cultures to the whaling history.
Don't miss the great waterfront panorama from the upper level observation deck.
There is a National Park Service Whaling center nearby, but it is closed Monday & Tuesday, so we do not know what they have there.
Figure about 2-3 hours.
翻译:首先,狭窄的鹅卵石街道上停车位稀缺,所以最好使用多层停车场(每小时8美元)。
跳过可选的5美元视频,因为它讲的是海龟,而不是捕鲸。如果你想了解更多捕鲸知识,这个视频不错,但不适合我们。
博物馆里有很多精美的文物,包括一艘真实捕鲸船的半尺寸复制品,但全尺寸的人几乎无法在船上移动,所以只能在外面欣赏。
这家博物馆始建于20世纪初,其布局和展品几乎是老式的“珍奇柜”,缺乏统一的整体主题,而且大多数都缺乏现代的展览技巧。
博物馆过分强调“觉醒”的多样性,而没有充分肯定来自不同地区和文化背景的个人对捕鲸历史的贡献。
千万不要错过从上层观景台欣赏壮丽的海滨全景。
附近有一个国家公园管理局捕鲸中心,但周一和周二关闭,所以我们不知道那里有什么。
预计大约需要2-3小时。
