点评:The museum is an interesting piece of history and a story that should be told. Impressive that a museum of this history can be family owned.
The young man giving the tour was informative and this museum seems to be his legacy but the interpretation (the tour) needs to be refreshed. This is apparent in how the tour itself is delivered. There are plenty of facts but they are rambled off quickly at a monotone pitch. Make it more conversational for guests. Remember we are guests who have chosen to spend our day visiting this location instead of another. The movie needs a refresh too. Its very fast paced and one tone. No pauses. Hard to receive the information.
We overheard a person working at the museum state that people aren't interested in history they just want to see a jail. Not true. We were there for Molly Maguire history. We met people people visiting there who said they were interested in 19th century incarceration history.
This venue would be fabulous for off tour hour programs such as guest speakers on Irish history or mining history or even tasting local wine or brews. So much potential.
Was it worth the visit? Yes. Did we learn something? Yes. Are we glad we visited? Yes.
翻译:这座博物馆是一段引人入胜的历史,它的故事值得讲述。如此悠久的历史,竟然是由家族经营的,真是令人印象深刻。
导游讲解的年轻人知识渊博,这座博物馆似乎是他的遗产,但导览的解读(导览)需要改进。这一点从导览本身的呈现方式就可以看出来。虽然有很多事实,但讲解内容却以单调乏味的语调快速地、一字不差地讲完。应该让导览更具对话性,让游客更容易理解。记住,我们是选择花一天时间参观这个地方而不是其他地方的客人。电影也需要改进。节奏太快,语调单一,没有停顿,很难理解信息。
我们无意中听到一位博物馆工作人员说,人们对历史不感兴趣,他们只想看监狱。这不对。我们去那里是为了了解莫莉·马奎尔的历史。我们遇到一些游客,他们说他们对19世纪的监禁历史感兴趣。
这个场地非常适合举办非旅游时间的活动,比如邀请嘉宾讲解爱尔兰历史或采矿史,甚至品尝当地葡萄酒或啤酒。潜力无限。
值得一游吗?是的。我们学到了什么吗?是的。我们很高兴来过这里吗?是的。
