点评:Having learned about this museum whilst visiting Blists Hill Victorian Town a few weeks beforehand. My father was raving about it to be honest, we decided to pay a visit just to get out of the house for a few hours. Upon arriving at the decently sized car park, we noted that at some point in the past, some lunatic had decided to add a modern building, (housing something called "Fusion"), onto the side of the original building. Now I love my old industry, but this carbuncle completely ruined the aesthetic of the location. The lady at the entrance was very welcoming and luckily being National trust members, entrance was free.
There are LOTS of ceramics on display here although a little disorganised, maybe display the items according to timeline or wares etc? This left us feeling somewhat overwhelmed and it stuck us that it felt as though the museum was trying to fill the display cases simply to justify opening a museum. There were one or two interesting pieces, but personally I was quite disappointed and didn't live up to the raving review my father gave it.
Please note that Jackfield is in the back of beyond and the roads leading to it can be very narrow and winding, so take care. Also the entrance to the car park is on a nasty S bend depending on which way you arrive!
Staff - we only saw one at the entrance and she was great!
Worth a trip? Only if you're SERIOUSLY into ceramics and happen to be in the area, otherwise sorry, I can't recommend.
翻译:几周前参观布利茨山维多利亚小镇时,我听说了这座博物馆。说实话,父亲对它赞不绝口,于是我们决定去参观一下,只为能离开家几个小时。抵达规模还算不错的停车场后,我们发现过去某个时候,有个疯狂的家伙在原建筑的侧面加建了一栋现代建筑,里面有个叫“Fusion”的场所。我其实很喜欢我们古老的工业文化。不过,这个丑陋的建筑彻底破坏了此地的整体美感。入口处的女士非常热情友好,幸运的是我们是国家信托基金的会员,因此可以免费入场。
这里展出了大量陶瓷制品,不过陈列方式有些杂乱无章;或许应该按照时间顺序或器物的类型来进行陈列吧?这让我们感到有些应接不暇,同时也觉得这座博物馆似乎只是为了证明自己值得开设而勉强填满各个展示柜罢了。有一两件作品还算有趣,但就我个人而言相当失望,并没有达到我父亲所给予的高度评价。
请注意,杰克菲尔德地处偏僻之地,通往那里的道路非常狭窄且蜿蜒曲折,所以务必小心驾驶。另外,无论您从哪个方向前来,进入停车场的入口处都有一个非常急的S形弯道!
工作人员——我们在入口处只见到一位工作人员,她表现很棒!值得一去吗?只有当你对陶瓷艺术极其感兴趣且恰好在附近时才值得去,否则很抱歉,我不推荐。
