点评:We (me, my wife and our 6 year old) visited today, and were hugely impressed. There is so much to see, masses of well-presented information and lots and lots to keep younger visitors interested. The staff were very welcoming, helpful friendly. Our little boy joined in with a baking activity which was being held in the workhouse kitchen, which he loved, and made a lovely gingerbread man which he brought away with him. The audio trail (you scan a QR code in some of the rooms, and are led through the history of the buildings by listening to the story of one of the keepers) was EXCELLENT, and a really simple but effective way of introducing the ideas about how the poor were treated in the past. I’ve seen this museum described as “the tramp museum”, but if you’re interested in history, and especially the ins-and-outs of Victorian society and their attitudes towards social issues, the museum is perfect. It presents the heart-wrenching stories of the poor people “incarcerated” here in a touching and very emotional way. A fantastic example of a brilliant local museum.
翻译:我们(我、我的妻子和我们 6 岁的孩子)今天参观了这里,印象非常深刻。这里有很多东西可以看,有大量精心呈现的信息,还有很多东西可以让小游客感兴趣。工作人员非常热情、乐于助人、友好。我们的小男孩参加了在济贫院厨房举行的烘焙活动,他非常喜欢,做了一个可爱的姜饼人带走了。音频线索(您可以在一些房间里扫描二维码,通过听其中一位管理员的故事了解建筑物的历史)非常棒,这是一种非常简单但有效的方式,可以介绍过去穷人受到的待遇。我见过这个博物馆被描述为“流浪汉博物馆”,但如果您对历史感兴趣,尤其是维多利亚社会的来龙去脉及其对社会问题的态度,那么这个博物馆是完美的选择。它以一种感人和非常感人的方式呈现了“被监禁”在这里的穷人令人心碎的故事。当地博物馆的杰出典范。
