点评:Myself and a friend visited on a weekday in December. We both believe that the museum is for serious Egyptologists only and is not geared towards the average members of the public.
Pros:
-Helpful, English speaking staff.
-Free map of the ‘visitor paths’ through the various floors of the museum.
-Highlights for me were: Ground Floor – big kings & real temple, 1st Floor – Tomb of Kha and Merit, 2nd Floor – Mummies and coffins, 3rd Floor – hieroglyphs. (NB. Italian diplomat and collector Bernardino Drovetti ‘gathered’ most of the museum’s exhibits whilst working in Egypt).
-Exhibits labelled and summarised in English.
-Small shop
-Small cafe.
Cons:
-Navigating is a nightmare - even the escalator only goes to 2nd Floor (not the top floor)! There’s steps, mezzanine floors, blind corners etc - a frustrating experience.
-Majority of exhibits behind glass, not many interactive displays.
-Very busy with tour groups.
翻译:我和一位朋友在十二月的一个工作日参观了这家博物馆。我们都认为,它只适合专业的埃及学家,并不适合普通游客。
优点:
- 工作人员热情友好,会说英语。
- 提供免费的博物馆各楼层参观路线图。
- 我最喜欢的几个地方是:底层——大型国王雕像和真正的神庙;一楼——卡和梅里特的陵墓;二楼——木乃伊和棺椁;三楼——象形文字。(注:意大利外交官兼收藏家贝尔纳迪诺·德罗韦蒂在埃及工作期间收集了博物馆的大部分展品。)
- 展品均配有英文标签和简介。
- 小型商店
- 小型咖啡馆。
缺点:
- 参观路线非常难找——就连自动扶梯也只到二楼(而不是顶层)!这里有台阶、夹层、视线盲区等等——参观体验令人沮丧。
——大部分展品都放在玻璃后面,互动展品不多。
——旅游团很多,非常拥挤。
