点评:We came to Dundee to visit friends who recently moved here, we had no expectation that the other exhibits in the area would be anything to compare with the Victoria and Albert, for example. However, the Verdant Mills Museum was easily their equal in execution and interest, and to some extent exceeded them because it was an area on which I knew practically nothing when I started.
Nevertheless, they set out a clear story of the improbable series of events that led to jute processing landing in Dundee as a major industry. I also like the fact that they confronted pretty openly the economic and social issues that resulted from this success. There was no hiding of some of the outcomes, along with mentioning a great deal of benefits to the community. In short, we spent more time than I expected, and I would probably go back during our next visit.
翻译:我们来邓迪是为了拜访最近搬到这里的朋友,原本并没有期待当地其他展览能与维多利亚和阿尔伯特博物馆相提并论。然而,维丹特磨坊博物馆在制作和趣味性上完全可以与它们媲美,甚至在某种程度上超越了它们,因为我对这个领域几乎一无所知。
尽管如此,博物馆还是清晰地讲述了一系列看似不可能的事件,最终促成了黄麻加工在邓迪发展成为一项重要产业。我也很欣赏他们坦诚地面对这一成功所带来的经济和社会问题。他们没有回避某些后果,同时也提到了这项产业给社区带来的诸多益处。总之,我们在这里待的时间比我预想的要长,下次来邓迪我可能还会再去参观。
