点评:The third Thursday of every month there is free admission at the Museum of Science & History also known as the Pink Palace. I had never been there and did not know what I was missing. This is a wonderful asset to Memphis’s collection of diverse museums. Housed in a beautiful old mansion built in the 1920s, this is part of what is documented there. Visitors can see a lovely older home refurbished into a museum which tells so many different stories. The museum has something for everyone: old, odd collections of stuffed birds; a splendid WPA mural; documentation about many aspects of Memphis’s history and science stuff, if you are into that. There is also a planetarium and a theater. But what I liked the most was an amazing, handmade 3 dimensional circus with carved animals and figurines which as a large table top display fills up an entire room! Any child would be entranced by it.
This is a wonderful place to visit with children and an interesting stop for adults as well.
翻译:每月的第三个星期四,这座又被称为“粉色宫殿”的科学历史博物馆都会免费开放。我以前从未去过那里,根本不知道自己错过了什么。它无疑是孟菲斯众多多元化博物馆中的一颗璀璨明珠。博物馆坐落在一座建于20世纪20年代的美丽老宅中,这正是馆内所展示的内容之一。游客们可以参观这座经过修缮的老宅博物馆,它讲述了无数动人的故事。这座博物馆适合所有人参观:无论老少。各种奇特的毛绒鸟收藏品;一幅精美的WPA壁画;还有关于孟菲斯历史与科学诸多方面的资料,如果你对此感兴趣的话。馆内还有一个天文馆和一家剧院。不过我最喜欢的还是那个令人惊叹的、手工制作的立体马戏团模型——上面有雕刻而成的动物和小人偶,作为一个大型桌面展示品,它甚至能填满整个房间!任何孩子都会被它迷住。
这是一个非常适合带孩子游玩的好地方,对成年人来说也是一个有趣的去处。
