点评:It was nice to walk around in the Museum and see how Shetland has developed through time. The museum was opened in 1966, but the new building is from 2007. The exhibits in the museum range from items of great historical importance, to items, which although not old, are of great significance to Shetland. The display galleries are split between two floors. The ground floor, about the history of Shetland until 1800 , from environmental, geological, and geographical factors, early settlers in the islands, through early agriculture, fishing, early boats, and the rich folklore of Shetland. The first-floor gallery space brings the story of Shetland up to date with exhibits from the last 200 years. These detail the changes in culture, politics, population, and industry, including the development of the knitwear industry and Shetland's association with the sea through fishing, whaling, wartime service, and merchant shipping.
翻译:在博物馆里走走看看设得兰群岛是如何随着时间而发展的,真是令人愉快。博物馆于 1966 年开馆,但新建筑是 2007 年建成的。博物馆的展品范围很广,从具有重要历史意义的物品到虽然不古老但对设得兰群岛具有重要意义的物品。展览馆分为两层。一楼讲述了直到 1800 年设得兰群岛的历史,从环境、地质和地理因素,岛上的早期定居者,到早期的农业、渔业、早期的船只,以及设得兰群岛丰富的民间传说。一楼的画廊空间通过过去 200 年的展品讲述了设得兰群岛的故事。这些展品详细介绍了文化、政治、人口和工业的变化,包括针织品行业的发展以及设得兰群岛通过捕鱼、捕鲸、战时服务和商船与海洋的联系。
