点评:A new museum on the edge of the large archaeological site, the museum sucked us in with its name, suggesting that it would tell the story of frankincense and its importance to the development of Salalah or Oman. Rather, there is an interesting exhibit on the ships that helped develop overall trade in the region across the centuries and an exhibit on the history of Oman, with one single paragraph about frankincense. (There is area planted with frankincense trees in the parking lot.). The museum is located on the grounds of the UNESCO World Heritage archeological site being excavated along the sea coast. We admittedly did not tour it, as our time was short and the sun strong. We told the ticket seller that we were disappointed that there was not more to see about frankincense inside the museum. He laughed and said tourists have been complaining since the museum opened about exactly this. He sent us to the administrative offices with a security guard to see the manager, but the offices were completely empty at 11 AM on a Thursday. So, go to the museum to see the ships. If this isn’t your bag, save the OMR 3 per person and go five minutes down the road to the souk to learn about frankincense from the dozens of vendors who will tell you about the various types, how it made, and the many ways it can be used.
翻译:这座新博物馆坐落在大型考古遗址的边缘,它的名字吸引了我们,暗示着它将讲述乳香的故事及其对塞拉莱或阿曼发展的重要性。相反,这里有一个有趣的展览,展示了几个世纪以来帮助该地区发展整体贸易的船只,以及一个关于阿曼历史的展览,其中只有一段关于乳香的内容。(停车场里有一片种植乳香树的区域。)博物馆位于联合国教科文组织世界遗产考古遗址的场地上,该遗址正在沿海地区进行挖掘。我们承认,我们没有参观,因为我们的时间很短,而且阳光很强烈。我们告诉售票员,我们很失望博物馆里没有更多关于乳香的东西可看。他笑着说,自从博物馆开业以来,游客们一直在抱怨这一点。他带我们和一名保安去行政办公室见经理,但周四上午 11 点办公室里空无一人。所以,去博物馆看船吧。如果您不感兴趣,那就省下每人 3 阿曼里亚尔的费用,沿着路走五分钟,到露天市场去从数十位摊贩那里了解乳香,他们会告诉您乳香的各种类型、制作方法以及乳香的多种用途。
