Great museum, great people, great smell!
Prickwillow Drainage Engine Museum的点评
点评:This museum is great! When you walk in the door you are greeted in equal measures by the friendly and knowledgeable docents, and the smell of well looked after old engines. This isn’t just a museum about pumping engines (which are massive!) but also about fenland life and industry.
There are several interactive exhibits, some very educational displays to teach you how engines work, and everything in the museum is numbered and can be looked up in the helpful catalogue. See if you find the little piece of Zimbabwe.
We were treated to the running of one of the big engines. Very kindly, following the refusal to start of one engine, the gentleman went and started up one of the other big ones to make sure we didn’t leave disappointed.
There is also small cafe on site. Would definitely come again, especially on an engine running day!
翻译:这个博物馆太棒了!一进门,热情友好的讲解员会热情地迎接你,你还能闻到保养良好的老式发动机的气味。这不仅仅是一个展示泵送发动机(它们体积巨大!)的博物馆,更是一个展现沼泽地生活和工业的博物馆。
博物馆里有几个互动展览,一些很有教育意义的展品会教你发动机的工作原理。博物馆里的所有展品都编号了,可以在实用的目录中查找。看看你能不能找到津巴布韦的点点滴滴。
我们体验了其中一台大型发动机的运转。非常贴心的是,在一台发动机无法启动后,这位先生去启动了另一台大型发动机,以确保我们不会失望而归。
博物馆里还有一家小咖啡馆。一定会再来的,尤其是在发动机运转的日子!
