点评:First of all, prepare to be blown away by the crazy number of items on display in this museum. It is as if everything usually kept away in the archives has been left here for show and it can be a bit overwhelming. Each floor is tightly packed with items featuring a huge range of different cultures, continents and timelines, and upstairs it is more of the same, each cabinet filled to the brim with items so much so it can be hard to find what you are looking for.
This museum is in the news fairly regularly for postconial reasons and its troubled history of collections, which it has attempted to address. There was a curtained off area for its human remains which we did not visit and a wall on discussing the colonial legacies of the museum - though it can be a bit hard to spot given just how much there is. Somehow they also found space to cram in a gift shop amongst all of this stuff, it is pretty incredible in that sense!
翻译:首先,准备好被博物馆中展出的疯狂数量的物品所震惊吧。好像所有通常存放在档案馆的东西都留在这里展示,这可能会让人有点不知所措。每一层楼都挤满了各种不同文化、大洲和时间线的物品,楼上的情况也大体相同,每个柜子里都塞满了物品,以至于很难找到你要找的东西。
这家博物馆经常因为后殖民主义的原因和它收藏的麻烦历史而登上新闻,它试图解决这个问题。有一个用帘子隔开的区域用于展示人类遗骸,我们没有去参观,还有一面墙上讨论博物馆的殖民遗产——尽管考虑到里面的东西太多,可能有点难以发现。不知何故,他们还在所有这些东西中找到了一个礼品店的空间,从这个意义上说,这真是太不可思议了!
