Over the top good vacation experience
Shawnigan Lake Museum的点评
点评：The museum has been closed the last 3 summers during their expansion program and this was my first time visiting the newly renovated site (I have regularly vacationed 2 weeks annually at Shawnigan Lake for many years and have visited the museum).
I approached the museum from the rear of the building and much to my surprise, there were 2 public washrooms there (extremely clean). Going around to the front of the building, I entered and my first aha moment was the wooden white railway sign in black lettering "SHAWNIGAN" and below was the train schedule for Victoria to Nanaimo and vice versa from decades ago. That brought back memories from the 1960's when our family would take the train from Victoria to Shawnigan Lake (we would get off at the Cliffside Station),
On entering, the personable and knowledgeable staff member Lori appeared and we got chatting and she led me to the highlight of the museum, which is a separate room constructed to recreate the workshop of the local artist E.J. Hughes. It is magnificent! There are original paintings and sketches of his on the wall.
The next room contains hundreds of items that reflect the lifestyle over the history of Shawnigan Lake. I sat in one of the students desks and read the book on it (probably Grade 1) . You could really spend a lot of time wandering past items such as crosscut saws to early century food cans & cutlery and lots more!
Another room is dedicated to the Kinsol Trestle with a scale model of a portion of it. To me, it was a work of art.
I am not ordinarily a purchaser, but I was so impressed with this museum that I came away with a Shawnigan Lake T-shirt. Very cool gift shop.
Thank you Lori and the team for a wonderful experience in the museum and all your work in bringing this project to fruition.
I will be back next year and hope to find a jigsaw puzzle of the Kinsol Trestle for sale.

翻译：博物馆在过去三个夏天因扩建项目而关闭，这是我第一次参观新装修的博物馆（多年来，我每年都会定期在肖尼根湖度假两周，也参观过这家博物馆）。
我从建筑后方走进博物馆，令我惊讶的是，那里有两个公共卫生间（非常干净）。绕到建筑正面，我走进去，第一个让我眼前一亮的时刻是白色的木纹铁路标志，上面用黑色字母写着“SHAWNIGAN”，下面是几十年前维多利亚和纳奈莫往返的火车时刻表。这让我回想起20世纪60年代我们一家坐火车从维多利亚到肖尼根湖（我们会在悬崖边站下车）的情景。
一进门，亲切而博学的工作人员Lori就出现了，我们聊了起来，她带我去了博物馆的亮点——一个独立的房间，重建了当地艺术家E.J. Hughes的工作室。真是太壮观了！墙上挂着他的原创绘画和素描。
隔壁的房间里陈列着数百件展品，反映了肖尼根湖历史上的生活方式。我坐在学生的课桌旁，读着课桌旁的书（大概是一年级的）。你真的可以花很多时间在展品之间穿梭，从横切锯到世纪初的食品罐头和餐具，应有尽有！
另一个房间专门展示了金索尔高架桥，里面有一个部分的比例模型。对我来说，它是一件艺术品。
我通常不怎么买东西，但这家博物馆给我留下了深刻的印象，我带走了一件肖尼根湖T恤。这家礼品店很棒。
感谢Lori和团队在博物馆的精彩体验，以及你们为这个项目付出的所有努力。
我明年还会再来，希望能找到一块金索尔高架桥的拼图出售。
