It would be a much better museum if one could enjoy it in peace.
Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center的点评
点评:First, the NPS guides, although they mean well, were overly-chatty to the point of not letting one do the self-guided tour without them on their shoulders. Second, there were lots of groups of kids come through rampaging and yelling. Considering the pathway is narrow, windy and has blind corners, this is not good. These NPS staff should spend less time haranguing adults and more time corralling the kids.
I will say the displays are quite good, and the pathway through the museum well laid-out. They cover the entirety of the Lewis & Clark expedition and fill in a lot of bits that the history books can’t. The good part covers the Grand Portage---where they had to get their boats out of the river, up the steep riverbanks, and across to more navigable waters. That was around this area with all the waterfalls. They have a two-floor diorama showing this in excruciating detail.
翻译:首先,国家公园管理局的导游虽然出于好意,但却过于喋喋不休,甚至到了不让游客背着他们进行自助游览的地步。其次,很多孩子成群结队地走过,又闹又闹。考虑到这条路狭窄、弯弯曲曲,拐角处又死角,这种情况很不妙。国家公园管理局的工作人员应该少花点时间对大人说教,多花点时间管教孩子。
不得不说,展览相当不错,博物馆的通道布局也很好。他们完整地介绍了刘易斯和克拉克的远征,并补充了许多历史书籍无法记录的细节。精彩的部分讲述了大波蒂奇——他们必须把船从河里弄出来,爬上陡峭的河岸,然后穿过更适合航行的水域。那段路就在瀑布林立的地区。他们有一个两层的立体模型,以极其精细的细节展示了这段经历。
