点评:For those used to the long queues and business of London’s museums, the National museum was a delightful surprise! Even on a Saturday morning in July there was no queue to get tickets and the coffee shop was relaxed and uncrowded. We concentrated on two sections – the prehistory section and the Viking section. A mix of brilliant and poor! The prehistory section is outstanding with clear accessible explanations (in Danish and English) which takes you through a selection of objects dating from 4,000 BC to about 800 AD. From carved amber animals through stone age, bronze age and iron age times you can see beautiful and interesting objects – notably the Bronze age Sun chariot, the remains of the Egtved girl (buried at age 16 in 1370 BC) the stunning silver Gundestrup Cauldron and many more gorgeous objects. We took much longer here than we expected and need a cup of coffee before exploring the Viking section. This disappointed us. The new immersive section about the ‘Viking Sorceress’ was gimmicky and hard to understand. They have spent a lot of money on this – but it did not work for us. Worse still, the selection of Viking objects (most very small) was so poorly lit you could barely see them properly. The museum has a rich collection of Viking ornaments but did a poor job of setting them in context – indeed the explanations were low down and poorly lit. So, it is a section worth visiting – but could have been better. There is much else to see in the museum – but we just saw these sections.
翻译:对于习惯了伦敦博物馆的长队和熙熙攘攘的人群的游客来说,国家博物馆简直是意外的惊喜!即使是在七月的一个周六早上,也没有人排队买票,咖啡馆里也很轻松,没有拥挤的人群。我们主要参观了两个部分——史前部分和维京部分。精彩与平庸并存!史前部分非常出色,讲解清晰易懂(丹麦语和英语),带您了解从公元前 4,000 年到公元 800 年左右的一系列文物。从琥珀动物雕刻到石器时代、青铜时代和铁器时代,您都可以看到美丽而有趣的文物——尤其是青铜时代的太阳战车、埃特维德女孩的遗骸(公元前 1370 年下葬,时年 16 岁)、令人惊叹的银质贡德斯特鲁普大锅以及其他许多精美的文物。我们在这里花的时间比预期的要长,在参观维京部分之前需要喝杯咖啡。这让我们很失望。关于“维京女巫”的全新沉浸式展区花哨又费解。他们为此投入了巨资,但效果并不理想。更糟糕的是,那些维京物品(大多数都非常小)的光线太暗,几乎看不清。博物馆收藏了丰富的维京饰品,但未能将它们与背景联系起来——事实上,解说内容很浅显,光线也很暗。所以,这个展区值得一看,但本来可以做得更好。博物馆里还有很多其他值得一看的地方,但我们只看了这些展区。
