点评:I planned to spend about two hours at the Manitoba Museum, but wound up spending nearly five hours there! The Manitoba Museum opened in 1970 for the centenary of Manitoba. It consists of a history and culture museum, a hands-on science gallery, and a planetarium.
When you enter the museum, you are greeted in the Welcome Gallery by the Métis, who founded Manitoba, and the Bison, a Manitoba icon. One of the best exhibits was an immersive alcove showing "Ancient Seas: Ordovician Tropics". 450 million years ago, Churchill was in a warm, shallow sea, where large cephalopods swam.
The Arctic and Subarctic exhibit prepared me for my visit to Churchill later on this trip. You can see an adult male polar bear about to feast on a half-grown ringed seal as well as a reconstruction of an Algonkian encampment in early summer.
The Nonsuch sailed from England in 1668 to trade furs in Hudson Bay. The trip was successful and investors created the Hudson Bay Company in 1670. (It went out of business earlier in 2025.) The museum has a replica of the ship and its departure port of Deptford.
Exhibits continued into the 20th century, with a reconstruction of a Winnipeg street and its shops. There is a lot to see and enjoy at this museum.
翻译:我原本计划在曼尼托巴博物馆待两个小时左右,结果却待了将近五个小时!曼尼托巴博物馆于1970年为纪念曼尼托巴省建省一百周年而开放。它由历史文化博物馆、互动科学展厅和天文馆组成。
进入博物馆,首先映入眼帘的是欢迎展厅,那里有曼尼托巴省的创建者——梅蒂人,以及曼尼托巴省的象征——野牛。其中一个最精彩的展品是“远古海洋:奥陶纪热带”沉浸式展厅。4.5亿年前,丘吉尔位于一片温暖的浅海中,那里生活着大型头足类动物。
北极和亚北极展厅让我对之后参观丘吉尔有了初步的了解。在那里,你可以看到一只成年雄性北极熊正准备享用一只半大的环斑海豹,以及一个复原的初夏阿尔冈昆人营地。
“诺萨奇号”于1668年从英国启航,前往哈德逊湾进行毛皮贸易。此次航行非常成功,投资者于1670年成立了哈德逊湾公司(该公司于2025年初倒闭)。博物馆内陈列着这艘船及其出发港德普特福德的复制品。
展览一直延续到20世纪,其中包括温尼伯一条街道及其商店的重建。这座博物馆有很多值得一看和欣赏的内容。
