点评:Being a major fan of dirigible history, I was pretty much in my happy place at this museum. The fact that you can walk through full scale replicas of the HINDENBURG's interiors is just incredible. The displays contain some amazing artifacts, and the models of the various airships are fantastic. Price-wise, I think it's very reasonable.
There are, unfortunately, a few annoying quirks. First, many of the display placards are in German only. Considering Zeppelin history has a major connection with the U.S., it doesn't make sense to alienate English-speaking visitors. Next, there is no obvious route one should take through the museum; things are sort of all over the place. And finally, the most annoying thing was that they wouldn't let my wife bring her small handbag in with her (it's literally the size of a quart-sized Ziplock bag). She had to place it in a locker while we walked around the museum. Not a big deal, really....BUT, we had to pay three euros to use the locker. Let me get this straight: she couldn't bring in a small handbag, so we were forced to use a locker, and then we had to pay for it? It's not like we had a choice. Afterall, not allowing handbags is their idea, not ours. Besides, exactly what do they think people are going to swipe in a museum where everything is in a display case? It's not like you can walk out with a section of girder from the GRAF ZEPPELIN.
Quirks aside, it was an enjoyable experience.
翻译:作为飞艇历史的忠实粉丝,我在这家博物馆里简直乐在其中。参观兴登堡号内部的全尺寸复制品真是太棒了。展品中有一些令人惊叹的文物,各种飞艇的模型也非常精美。价格方面,我觉得非常合理。
可惜的是,也有一些令人不快的怪癖。首先,很多展板只有德语。考虑到齐柏林飞艇的历史与美国有着千丝万缕的联系,疏远讲英语的游客实在是太不合理了。其次,博物馆里没有明确的参观路线,东西摆放得乱七八糟。最后,最让人恼火的是,他们不让我妻子带她的小手提包进去(她的小包只有一夸脱大小的密封袋那么大)。我们参观博物馆的时候,她不得不把包放在储物柜里。真的没什么大不了的……但是,我们得付三欧元才能用储物柜。我得说清楚:她不能带小手提包进去,所以我们被迫用储物柜,然后还要付钱?我们也没得选。毕竟,不让带手提包是他们的主意,不是我们的。再说,他们到底以为人们会在博物馆里偷什么东西,毕竟博物馆里的东西都摆在展柜里?你又不可能从齐柏林伯爵号上偷走一段梁。
撇开这些小毛病不谈,这绝对是一次愉快的经历。
