点评:This is one of the most impressive exciting history-based museums I've visited. It deals with two remarkable stories. The first is that of King Richard III, his life, his career and the wider context of the 'Wars of the Roses' etc. The second followed the dramatic way in which his remains were sought, found and excavated, culminating in reburial and memorialisation.
If the history itself is not enough to grab your imagination, the museum will draw you in with the way in which it presents the subject.
Displays are colourful, eye-catching and easy to follow, whilst modern techniques such as lifelike projected 'holograms', background sound effects, computer generated reconstructions and timelapse are used to vivid effect.
You can hear parts of the story told by 3D representations of contemporary figures, watch the centuries pass over Richard's burial site, examine holographic depictions of his battle injuries and much more.
Information boards furnish you with further details of the man, his life, the views both of his contemporaries and of people who came after, the archaeological project and the continuing legacy.
There is a charming courtyard café serving drinks, good quality snacks, lunches and cakes and there is a small shop selling many books and quality gift items related to Richard as well as the broader history of his time.
The museum staff are friendly and enthusiastic.
The entry price of £12.50 for an adult is very reasonable and even more so when you realise that it covers you for as many visits as you like, for an entire year.
All modern museums should aspire to be like this.
翻译:这是我参观过的最令人印象深刻且充满吸引力的历史博物馆之一。它讲述了两个非凡的故事。第一个是关于理查三世国王的生平、他的生涯以及“玫瑰战争”等大背景。第二个故事则讲述了人们如何历经波折寻获他的遗骸并加以发掘,最终完成了重新安葬与纪念仪式。
即便历史本身还不足以激发你的想象力……这座博物馆以其呈现主题的独特方式吸引着参观者。
展品色彩丰富、引人注目且易于理解;博物馆还巧妙地运用了各种现代技术,如逼真的投影“全息图”、背景音效、电脑生成的复原图像以及延时摄影,从而营造出生动逼真的体验。
你可以听到由当代人物的3D形象讲述的故事片段,还能目睹数个世纪如何在理查德的墓地上流逝。可以观看关于他战斗伤势的全息影像,还有更多内容可供了解。
信息牌则提供了关于此人的更多详情:他的生平、同时代人对他的评价以及后人对他的看法、考古项目的情况,以及他留下的持久影响。
这里有一个迷人的庭院咖啡馆,供应饮料、高品质小吃、午餐和蛋糕;另有一家小商店,出售大量与理查德本人及其所处时代历史相关的书籍和精美的纪念品。博物馆的工作人员友好又热情。
成人门票价格为12.50英镑,十分合理;更棒的是,这个价格允许你在一整年内无限次参观。
所有现代化的博物馆都应以此为榜样。
