Wonderful complex view of North Vancouver—small but lots to see
Monova: Archives Of North Vancouver的点评
点评:A real pleasure to visit this splendid if a little quirky museum. From the prominence of the restored streetcar in the entrance, you might think it’s a typical “small city” museum (artifacts about city growth and such). Several special exhibits caught our eye pleasantly enough, who doesn’t want to know more about the nearby mountains and mountaineering culture? But already there is deft integration of local First Nations people with white European folks on skis.
The heart of the place, however, is the building-wide permanent exhibition. Pause a moment when you enter, you are invited as it were to branch one way into cultural change and transformation; straight ahead is a compact but valuable treatment of two local First Nations culture, tools, and language — multimedia gives you the sound of the languages— very nice to hear. (Not all “sweetness and light” since a semi-enclosed panel deals directly with the reservation school calamity—a voice intones the names of its victims. ) The other way you can explore the prominent local shipbuilding industry. There’s a lot of great information, expertly presented — multiple level descriptions.
The museum deserves a wider exposure— really a treat, a short walk from the SeaBus terminal.
翻译:参观这个虽然有点古怪但很出色的博物馆真的是一种享受。从入口处修复的有轨电车的显眼位置来看,您可能会认为这是一个典型的“小城市”博物馆(关于城市发展等的文物)。几个特别的展览令人愉快地吸引了我们的眼球,谁不想更多地了解附近的山脉和登山文化呢?但是,当地原住民和滑雪的白人欧洲人已经巧妙地融合在一起了。
然而,这个地方的核心是整个建筑的常设展览。当您进入时稍作停留,您会被邀请进入文化变革和转型的一个分支;直走是对两个当地原住民文化、工具和语言的紧凑但有价值的处理——多媒体让您听到语言的声音——听起来非常好听。(并非所有的“甜蜜和光明”都是如此,因为半封闭的面板直接涉及保留学校的灾难——一个声音吟诵着受害者的名字。)另一种方式是您可以探索当地著名的造船业。有很多很棒的信息,专业呈现——多层次的描述。
博物馆值得更广泛的曝光——真的是一种享受,距离 SeaBus 终点站仅几步之遥。
