点评:All the years we have been visiting in Peterborough, and we never got to the original Canoe Museum, so thought we should see this one. The new building on their Lakefront Campus at Little Lake, on the traditional territory of the Williams Treaties First Nations, is really lovely. It is home to the world’s largest collection of canoes, kayaks and paddled watercraft - over 600, with over 100 on display in the Exhibition Hall. In addition to the watercraft are paddles, and other small artifacts, and many interactive audio, visual and hands-on displays. I found the Indigenous collection to be the most interesting with vintage dugout canoes, birchbark canoes, kayaks from around North America, as well as craft from around the world. There are also modern canoes of all sorts, competition canoes and famous canoes. The Collection Hall holds the watercraft not on display, but you can see them through large atrium and mezzanine windows. There is a lakefront events and education centre for workshops of all sorts, and there are even canoes and kayaks for rent. There is a lovely little café with an interesting menu and a gift shop. All w/c accessible, washrooms, and lots of parking, most of it across the street. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
翻译:我们这些年来一直去彼得伯勒游玩,却从未去过最初的独木舟博物馆,所以觉得应该去看看这个。博物馆的新建筑位于小湖畔园区,坐落在威廉姆斯条约原住民的传统领地上,非常漂亮。这里收藏了世界上最大的独木舟、皮划艇和桨式水上交通工具——超过 600 件,其中展览厅展出了 100 多件。除了水上交通工具外,还有桨和其他小件文物,以及许多互动式音频、视频和动手展示。我发现原住民收藏最有趣,有老式独木舟、桦树皮独木舟、来自北美各地的皮划艇,以及来自世界各地的工艺品。此外,还有各种现代独木舟、竞赛独木舟和名船。收藏厅收藏着未展出的水上交通工具,但您可以通过宽敞的中庭和夹层窗户看到它们。这里有一个湖畔活动和教育中心,可以举办各种工作坊,甚至还有独木舟和皮划艇出租。这里有一家可爱的小咖啡馆,菜单很有意思,还有一家礼品店。所有卫生间都无障碍,有洗手间,还有充足的停车位,大部分都在街对面。我们非常享受这次参观。
