Broken Hill Mining Museum and Whites Mineral Art Gallery的点评
点评:This was absolutely a highlight of a recent trip to Broken Hill. I could have spent so much more time there. The two gentlemen who conducted the tour - Larry and ‘Ducky’ (ex-miners) were both so knowledgeable explaining the history of mining and the way the museum’s structure resembles a mine and the dioramas which are incredibly detailed only add to the experience. The hundreds of artworks all done by Kevin White using crushed local rocks and minerals are worth the visit on their own. There is a section showing how these were made which makes you appreciate them even more. This museum is also very accessible and has seating throughout. The doll collection by the original owner’s wife is also outstanding.
I would go as far as to say if you have limited time in Broken Hill and could only visit one or two attractions this one should definitely be on your list. Entry fee at the time of my visit was $12.50 for an adult which was more than reasonable.
翻译:这绝对是我最近一次布罗肯希尔之旅的一大亮点。我本来可以在那里待更长时间的。两位导游——拉里和“达基”(前矿工)都非常博学,他们讲解了采矿史,并解释了博物馆的结构如何与矿井相似,而那些极其细致的立体模型更是为这次体验锦上添花。凯文·怀特使用粉碎的当地岩石和矿物创作的数百件艺术品本身就值得一看。博物馆内还有一个区域展示了这些艺术品的制作过程,让你更加欣赏它们。博物馆的入口也很方便,全场都设有座位。原主人妻子的玩偶收藏也非常出色。
我想说,如果你在布罗肯希尔的时间有限,只能参观一两个景点,那么这个景点绝对应该列在你的清单上。我当时参观时的门票是成人12.50美元,非常合理。
