点评:My passion is Ancient Egypt and we travelled from Cumbria. The galleries are spacious but the displays, beautifully done, are very sparse. There are yards of empty spaces and I think exhibit numbers could be doubled. I have read extensively and so many credited Egyptologists have been linked with the Museum over the years I expected far more exhibits. I read every single label and studied all exhibits and it was just over 1.5 hours. It seems curators started by determining popular areas, Afterlife, Amarna etc then selected suitable objects but not too many to overwhelm visitors. What about visitors that expect far more information and artefacts? I felt short changed and disappointed. The café food is ridiculously overpriced, over £8 for a sandwich and £12 for a sausage roll and salad. We subsequently visited the Pitt Rivers and Natlonal History museums which are far far better all round
翻译:我对古埃及充满热情,我们是从坎布里亚郡特意赶来的。展馆空间宽敞,但展品的陈列虽十分精美,数量却极为稀少。到处都是大片空地,我觉得展品数量完全可以翻一番。我阅读过大量相关资料,多年来也有众多公认的埃及学专家与该博物馆有过合作,因此我原以为这里会有更多展品。我仔细阅读了每一块说明牌并仔细观赏了所有展品,整个过程只花了1个半小时左右。看来策展人最初是先确定了那些受欢迎的展区……在“来世”和“阿玛尔纳”展区,馆方挑选了合适的展品,但数量控制得恰到好处,不至于让参观者应接不暇。不过,对于那些期望看到更多信息和文物的参观者来说又如何呢?我觉得自己没有得到应有的体验,因此感到失望。咖啡馆里的食品价格贵得离谱:一个三明治要8英镑以上,香肠卷配沙拉则要12英镑。后来我们又去了皮特·里弗斯博物馆和国家自然历史博物馆,这两处博物馆无论在哪方面都要好得多。
