Promising, but disappointed
The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre的点评
点评:Visited with a 2 year old and 2 adults. We were really excited about going here, had seen lots of good reviews and content online about it. However when we arrived we felt let down by the actual content of the museum. There are a maximum of two galleries which are primarily focused on the author, his life and background. This was really good if you are interested from that perspective, however we were expecting to see more content dedicated to exploring his written work. Specifically, there wasn't much delving into the stories themselves, it wasnt telling us why Roald Dahl is still treasured. I was hoping my 2 year old could come away with an early introduction to Roald Dahl's world, however that didnt happen. There were great interactive activities for older children which looked engaging. I was also hoping to see a few more 'star pieces', for example, there's a great display of his writing hut, however given most people engage with his world through pop culture I was expecting a bit more from this perspective (e.g. movie props). On the positive side, the under 5s room was great with duplo and soft toys to play with, and overall the place felt very relaxed. All the staff were friendly and approachable. The museum has definate promise, but I wouldn't say it delivered to my expectations and I'm not sure what would bring me for a return visit at this time.
翻译:我们带着一个2岁的孩子和两位成年人一同前往。我们原本对这次行程满怀期待,因为在网上看到了很多关于这家博物馆的好评与介绍。然而,到达之后我们却对博物馆的实际内容感到有些失望。整个博物馆最多只有两个展厅,内容主要围绕这位作家本人、他的生平与背景展开。如果你对这些方面感兴趣,那当然不错;但我们原本期望能看到更多关于他作品本身的展示。具体来说……节目并没有深入探讨那些故事本身,也没有解释为何罗尔德·达尔至今仍备受珍视。我原本希望我两岁的孩子能借此机会初步接触罗尔德·达尔的世界,但这一期望并未实现。节目中确实有一些非常适合大龄儿童的互动活动,看起来也很有趣。我还希望能看到更多“亮点内容”,比如,节目里有对他写作小屋的精彩展示。不过,鉴于大多数人都是通过流行文化来了解他的世界,我原本期望能从这个角度看到更多内容(比如电影道具之类的)。值得称赞的是,5岁以下儿童的游乐区很不错,有乐高得宝积木和软质玩具可供玩耍;整个场馆的氛围也相当轻松。所有工作人员都友善且平易近人。这家博物馆显然很有潜力,但就目前而言并未达到我的预期,我也不确定今后还有什么能吸引我再次光临。
