点评:Potters Bar Museum is located in the Wyllyotts Arts Centre. It is on the first floor and there is a staircase and lift to get up to it. It is only open three days a week and only for limited hours.
When I visited there were staff there who greeted me warmly and said I could have a wander around and if I had any questions I could ask.
There was plenty to see including a big display about the history of the railway in the town. Sadly I discovered that there have been two tragic rail accidents in the town. There was also alot to discover about the local industries in the town and Roman origins. There was also a very big collection of telephones to look at. I am sure many youngsters have never seen a rotary dial phone let alone used one! There was also an interesting collection of novelty phones to check out.
If you are expecting something grand you will be disappointed however it's a small museum which gives you a flavour of the history of the town and an opportunity to reminisce.

我去参观时,有工作人员热情地迎接我,还说我可以自由参观,如果有任何问题也可以随时询问。
馆内陈列丰富,其中有一个关于镇上铁路历史的大规模展览尤为引人注目。很遗憾,我发现这个小镇上发生过两起惨烈的铁路事故。此外,关于当地的工业以及罗马时期的历史也有很多值得了解的内容。那里还有数量众多的电话机可供参观。我敢肯定,很多年轻人从未见过旋转式拨号电话,更别说使用过了!另外,还有一系列造型有趣的特色电话也值得一看。如果你期待看到什么宏伟的展品,可能会感到失望;不过这是一座小型博物馆,能让你领略到这座小镇的历史,也给你一个怀旧的机会。
