点评:The museum doesn't allow dogs, so many Lake District visitors will be disappointed, as countless people come here on dog walking holidays. There was a woman standing with her dog outside, when I passed, whilst her companion/s went around the museum. No way I would leave my dogs outside unaccompanied, as I am a solo traveller and they are my constant companions. The only reason given was that dogs are generally not allowed in Lake District museums, so not actually a well thought out reason at all. I have visited several museums with my dogs without any issues. Including the Pencil Museum at Derwent (Lake District), where we were made very welcome and had a great time halfway through a walk. I spent generously in the shop, after the inspiration of the museum.
Funnily enough, dogs are trusted in the shop, in a cynical attempt to still allow money making there, but I won't be spending this time.
I do hope such museums stop being so fusty and outdated, in their own interests as well as the potential visitors that they are missing. 😞
翻译:博物馆不允许带狗,所以很多湖区游客会感到失望,因为无数人来这里遛狗度假。我经过时,有一位女士带着她的狗站在外面,而她的同伴则在博物馆里转悠。我绝不会把我的狗留在外面无人陪伴,因为我是一个独自旅行的人,它们是我永远的伙伴。给出的唯一理由是湖区博物馆通常不允许带狗,所以实际上根本没有经过深思熟虑的理由。我带着我的狗参观过几家博物馆,没有任何问题。包括德文特(湖区)的铅笔博物馆,我们在那里受到了热烈的欢迎,在散步途中玩得很开心。在博物馆的启发下,我在商店里慷慨地花了钱。
有趣的是,商店信任狗,这是一种玩世不恭的尝试,仍然允许在那里赚钱,但我不会花时间。
我真的希望这样的博物馆不要那么陈旧和过时,这不仅是为了他们自己的利益,也是为了他们错过的潜在游客。 😞
