点评:This is a fantastic place to visit full of both military and local history with amazing friendly knowledgeable guides who certainly enhanced the experience for us.
The Berwick Museum and Art Gallery (in the building opposite the main entrance) has particular interest for my family as it.contains many exhibits from both the Wallace and Carr lines of our family tree.
Having been shocked to see so many family artifacts a few years back, this time we called the museum a week in advance of our visit and spoke to the wonderful Jenny Vevers.
In advance of our visit, Jenny sorted out lots of items related to our family not currently being exhibited to show us when we visited. Highlights were:
- looking through a volume of the Quintet and finding about Jenny's version which won first place for a school project.
- seeing family portraits to put a face to those names on our family tree ( both stern and friendly).
- stunning art nouveau door finger plates created by my great grandmother ( I wish I had her and the rest of our family's artistic talent).
It was a wonderful day made special by all the people at the museum but particularly Jenny who we cannot thank enough for making the visit so incredible.
翻译:这是一个值得游览的好地方,充满了军事和当地的历史,友好而博学的导游无疑丰富了我们的体验。
贝里克博物馆和艺术画廊(位于正门对面的大楼内)对我家特别有吸引力,因为里面有很多我们家谱华莱士和卡尔两支的展品。
几年前,看到这么多家族文物让我们感到震惊,这次我们在参观前一周给博物馆打了电话,并与出色的珍妮·维弗斯交谈。
在我们参观之前,珍妮整理出了很多与我们家族有关的物品,目前没有展出,以便在我们参观时展示给我们。亮点是:
- 浏览五重奏的一卷,并找到珍妮的版本,该版本获得了学校项目的一等奖。
- 看到家庭肖像,把我们家谱上的名字与面孔联系起来(既严肃又友好)。
- 我的曾祖母制作的令人惊叹的新艺术风格门指板(我希望我能拥有她和我们家族其他成员的艺术天赋)。
这是美好的一天,博物馆的所有人都为这一天增光添彩,尤其是珍妮,我们非常感谢她让这次参观如此精彩。
