点评:This is a small museum, with a £5 admission fee, but is worth every penny. It's incredibly well-done and researched, and laid out in a manner that is easily walked through, with a couple of places to sit along the way if that is important (I have MS- so this is a really good thing for me.) The displays are incredibly informative. Helmsdale is a lovely village, with a rich history and incredibly friendly people. There is an impressive library upstairs with a wide range of topics. We didn't visit the cafe, but we'll visit it soon, I'm sure. The museum itself is dog friendly, so even our pooch was able to walk through it with us. It took us about an hour to walk through it...and I would have liked to wander through it a bit more slowly, but the 2 people I was with had other plans for the afternoon. I specifically enjoyed the displays set in the kitchen or other areas of the house, and seeing the different tools used, etc. Having not grown up in Scotland, the details of the histories of the communities surrounding where I now live are all new to me, and I appreciate being able to learn about our new home in such a comfortable and interesting place.
翻译:这是一座小型博物馆,门票价格为5英镑,但绝对物有所值。展览内容制作精良且经过精心研究,布局也十分合理,参观起来毫不费力;途中还设有几处休息处,这对我这类需要休息的人来说真是太棒了(我患有多发性硬化症)。展品信息量极大,极具教育意义。赫姆斯代尔是个非常迷人的村庄,拥有深厚的历史底蕴,村民们也极其友善。楼上设有一个藏书丰富的图书馆,涵盖各种主题的书籍。我们虽然没有去那家咖啡馆,但我肯定很快会去光顾的。博物馆本身允许带狗进入,所以我们的小狗也能和我们一起在里面漫步。我们花了大约一个小时才把博物馆逛完……其实我本想慢慢多逛一会儿的,但同行的两个人当天下午另有安排。我特别喜欢那些设置在厨房或房屋其他区域的展品,还有那些各式各样的工具等等。由于我并非在苏格兰长大,我现在居住地的周边社区的历史细节对我来说都是全新的知识,我很庆幸能在这样一个舒适又有趣的地方了解关于我们新家园的各种信息。
