点评:Coffin Works was right around the corner from our Hotel, we were up in Birmingham to see an event in the Utilita Bowl - so we decided to visit as this museum seemed quirky and different and it was on our doorstep so to speak! We were not disappointed at all, what a great museum this was, Madds the tour guide was so entertaining and informative we really felt as though we had learned a lot from her. There is an opportunity to touch some of the items in specified areas and view the factory as it would have been, learn the history of its rise and fall and the reason behind that, listen to stories from some of the staff who worked there and you could get a real feel for the heavy and skilled work that went on in the factory. Photos were encouraged. There were some great items in the gift shop which although were a tad on the expensive side they were lovely items and different to your standard gift shop items so we did make a couple of purchases! There was also a cafe inside but we didn't visit it on this occasion. All in all a very interesting, informative, museum which gives you a real taste of times gone by.
翻译:棺材厂博物馆就在我们酒店附近,我们当时在伯明翰是为了去Utilita Bowl看演出,所以就决定去参观一下,因为这家博物馆看起来很特别,而且就在我们家门口!我们一点都没失望,这真是一个很棒的博物馆!导游Madds既风趣又博学,我们感觉从她那里学到了很多东西。在指定区域,你可以触摸一些展品,参观工厂的原貌,了解它的兴衰历史及其背后的原因,聆听一些曾经在那里工作过的员工的故事,真切地感受到工厂里繁重而又需要高超的技艺。博物馆鼓励拍照。礼品店里有一些很棒的商品,虽然价格略高,但都很精美,而且与普通的礼品店商品不同,所以我们买了几件!里面还有一家咖啡馆,不过这次我们没有进去。总而言之,这是一座非常有趣、内容丰富的博物馆,能让你真正体验到过去的时代风貌。
