点评:This is a great museum. Really interesting displays covering the history of Whitehaven, the west coast of Cumberland, WWI and WWII and Sellafield. Very interactive. One of the best museums for children (and big kids!). They can play with electricity, ride a chopper, build with giant blocks, balance the ballast in a ship and there's a VR experience of being a miner. Just a few of the things to do.
We spent two hours in there and could have spent longer. The views from the top floor are wonderful. You can see right across the harbour and down the coast. There's also a fabulous independent cafe and bakery on the ground floor.
It's also quite accessible. My father has limited mobility and poor eye sight but could read many of the displays and there is a lift to every floor. There are places to sit down around the displays.
Good value for money.
翻译:这是一家很棒的博物馆。展品非常有趣,涵盖了怀特黑文、坎伯兰西海岸、一战、二战以及塞拉菲尔德的历史。互动性极佳。这是最适合儿童(以及大孩子!)的博物馆之一。他们可以玩电、乘坐直升机、用巨型积木搭建、平衡船上的压舱物,还可以体验矿工的VR体验。这只是博物馆的几个亮点。
我们在里面待了两个小时,其实可以待更长时间。顶楼的景色非常棒。你可以俯瞰海港和海岸线。底楼还有一家很棒的独立咖啡馆和面包店。
博物馆的交通也很便利。我父亲行动不便,视力也不太好,但他可以看清很多展品,而且每层楼都有电梯。展品周围都有座位。
物有所值。
