点评:I think the first thing you need to know, before reading my review is that we LOVE small local museums. We visit them whenever we find ourselves in a small town. Our visit to The Rice Museum was disappointing at best. Even after buying our ticket from the least personable man we have ever encountered and waiting almost an hour for our tour, we remained optimistic. Our tour started 15 minutes late because we were waiting for another couple to arrive. Why are you making me wait because of their lack of regard for others? Begin the tour and they will need to either catch up or miss it. Once the tour started our guide was monotone and hard to hear despite having a microphone. He was abrupt at answering any questions. He did not attempt to ensure people were able to see or hear the information he was presenting, After touring several old and dusty dioramas outlining the development of the rice trade, we sat down to watch a 15-minute YouTube video that had the same information that we had just seen in the dioramas. We were then told because we were the last tour of the day that we wouldn't have access to the second floor where all the artifacts were located. Seeing these artifacts was one of the main reasons we wanted to visit the museum. We were told that we could come back the next day to see them...not a viable option if you've traveled to get to Georgetown. We wish the man selling us the tickets would have told us this when we bought the tickets. Also, perhaps we would have had time to visit the second-floor exhibits if we had started the tour on time and hadn't been forced to watch a video. Perhaps the artifacts on the second floor make this a museum that I would recommend for you to visit? But, after the experience we had I suggest you spend your time in Georgetown another way. And that is from someone who loves small-town museums.
翻译:我认为在阅读我的评论之前,您需要知道的第一件事是我们喜欢小型当地博物馆。每当我们来到小镇时,我们都会去参观。我们对稻米博物馆的参观充其量是令人失望的。即使我们从遇到过的最不友善的人那里买了票,并等待了近一个小时才开始参观,我们仍然保持乐观。我们的旅行晚了 15 分钟才开始,因为我们在等另一对夫妇到来。为什么因为他们不尊重他人而让我等?开始游览,他们要么赶上来,要么错过。一旦游览开始,我们的导游语调单调,尽管有麦克风,但很难听到。他回答任何问题都很唐突。他没有试图确保人们能够看到或听到他所呈现的信息,在参观了几个概述稻米贸易发展的古老而布满灰尘的立体模型后,我们坐下来观看了一段 15 分钟的 YouTube 视频,其中包含的信息与我们刚刚在立体模型中看到的相同。然后我们被告知,因为我们是当天的最后一个团,所以我们不能进入摆放所有文物的二楼。看到这些文物是我们想参观博物馆的主要原因之一。我们被告知第二天可以再来参观……如果你已经旅行到乔治城,这不是一个可行的选择。我们希望卖票的人在我们买票时告诉我们这一点。此外,如果我们准时开始游览并且没有被迫观看视频,也许我们有时间参观二楼的展品。也许二楼的文物使这个博物馆成为我推荐你参观的博物馆?但是,根据我们的经历,我建议你以另一种方式度过在乔治城的时光。这是来自一个热爱小镇博物馆的人的意见。
