Closing two hours early spoilt an excellent visit
Verdant Works Museum的点评
点评：I came here on the suggestion of some friends who'd not been able to visit when they were last in Dundee. Well, they missed a real gem.
It's a bit off the beaten track, so a £6 taxi was necessary to whisk me from the waterfront to the museum.
Arriving at lunchtime and my favourite lentil soup being on the menu, I indulged happily. Very tasty it was too, although the accompanying cheese scone had not reacted well to being blitzed in the microwave and was pretty stodgy. (£6.95).
The 'Jute Museum', as many call it, certainly deals in depth with Dundee's famous industry, with comprehensive information boards, a myriad of photographs, short films and much, much more.
For me, the enthusiastic volunteers made the day, from dressing up in period costume to demonstrating many of the machines used in the manufacturing of jute. One minor criticism I have is the lack of seating in the machine room and in some other areas.
I also particularly enjoyed the social history displays which included a fun re-creation of a 'cludgie', (Scottish name for an outside toilet).
At just before 3pm, with a fair bit still to see, I decided to go for a cuppa and a bit of cake, only to be told that the museum was about to close - two hours early.
I was also somewhat irked that they had given a flat no to posting (at my expense) a £38 clock I had wanted to buy but was concerned it would be too big for my suitcase for my Easyjet flight home. With the cafe closed, I couldn't even buy it to despatch myself and also unable to purchase some other items that had taken my fancy.
No announcement had been made about the early closing and whoever made the decision needs to think rather more carefully than they did about the implications of their actions.
It's a real pity and soured what had been an excellent visit and which should have merited a five-star review. They also need to do something about their e-tickets wrongly giving the museum address as Riverside Drive.

翻译：我是听从一些朋友的建议才来这里的——他们上次来邓迪时没能参观这个博物馆。唉，他们可真是错失了一颗真正的瑰宝啊。
这个地方有点偏僻，所以我不得不花6英镑叫了辆出租车，才从滨水区顺利抵达博物馆。
我是在午饭时间到的，菜单上有我最爱的扁豆汤，于是我开心地点了一碗。汤的味道确实很棒，不过配着的奶酪司康经过微波炉加热后变得硬邦邦的，口感实在不怎么样。（价格为6.95英镑）许多人称之为“黄麻博物馆”，它确实深入介绍了邓迪著名的黄麻产业——馆内有详尽的信息展板、大量照片、短纪录片以及更多丰富内容。
对我而言，那些热情洋溢的志愿者让这一天增色不少：他们身着复古服装，还现场演示了多种用于黄麻生产的机器。我唯一的一点小意见就是：机器展示区及其他一些区域缺少座椅。我尤其喜欢那些社会历史展览，其中有一个有趣的“户外厕所”复原模型（“Cludgie”是苏格兰人对户外厕所的称呼）。
下午3点不到，虽然还有不少内容没参观完，我便决定去喝杯茶、吃点蛋糕。结果却被告知博物馆即将闭馆——比原定时间提前了两小时。让我有些恼火的是，他们断然拒绝让我以自费的方式寄送一块价值38英镑的钟表。我原本想买下那块表，但又担心它尺寸太大，带不进我搭乘易捷航空返程航班时的行李箱里。由于咖啡馆已经关门，我既无法亲自购买并寄出那块表，也买不了其他我看中的商品。关于提前闭馆一事并未发布任何公告，做出这一决定的人需要比现在更仔细地考虑其行为的后果。
真是可惜，这一情况破坏了原本一次非常愉快的参观体验——这次参观本应获得五星评价才对。此外，他们还需要解决电子门票上将博物馆地址误标为“Riverside Drive”的问题。
