点评:It may be a false memory but I seem to recall visiting this site in the 1990s and finding little more than a big barn with old farm implements on the wall. Well, I'm nerd enough to derive pleasure even from that but today's Milton Keynes Museum bears no comparison. It is now a huge complex with an old manor house at its centre, large, lwned areas, gardens and several purpose-built, modern buildings. The various exhibits cover reconstructed Victorian shops, a Victorian house and gardens, MK transport, ancient MK, telecommunications, a bandstand, boats and steam engines and a handful of concrete cows. There's a modest but servicable cafe serving cakes and snacks. There is also a shop stocking relevant and tasteful locally sourced gift items.
The entry price of £17.50 may seem a little pricey but I was here for a good 3 hours and could have spent longer. Additionally, the ticket covers a full 12 months.
A city museum to be proud of.
翻译:也许我的记忆有误,但我好像记得上世纪90年代来过这里,当时看到的不过是一个大谷仓,墙上挂着一些旧农具。好吧,即便如此,我这个“书呆子”也能从中找到乐趣。不过,如今的米尔顿凯恩斯博物馆与当年相比简直天壤之别。它现在是一个庞大的建筑群,中心是一座古老的庄园,周围环绕着大片草坪、花园和几座新建的现代化建筑。展品丰富多样,包括重建的维多利亚时代商店、维多利亚时代的房屋和花园、米尔顿凯恩斯的交通、古老的米尔顿凯恩斯、电信设施、乐队演奏台、船只和蒸汽机,以及几头水泥牛。这里还有一家小巧但不错的咖啡馆,供应蛋糕和小吃。此外,还有一家商店,出售各种应景且品味高雅的当地特色礼品。
17.50英镑的门票价格可能略高,但我在这里待了足足三个小时,而且感觉还可以待更久。另外,门票有效期长达12个月。
这是一座值得城市骄傲的博物馆。
