There was a very extensive exhibition about Cyclone Tracey which brought home to those of us viewing what a dreadful experience this must have been. There is also an interesting Maritime Museum located within the premises. This was different to any maritime museum we had seen as it contained vessels from surrounding islands, ie dug-out canoes and fishing vessels.There is no charge for visiting this Museum and it is well worth a visit.
We got here on the double decker HopOn-HopOff bus. It is FREE entry. We spend an hour here. The cyclone Tracey exhibit was fascinating and very 'personal', lots of first-hand stories and amazing photos. But this is not the only thing here. There are aboriginal artefact areas and 'Sweetheart' the 5 metre croc that died during capture and is stuffed here now! Various other fauna exhibits and the top floor has changing art exhibitions. Overall lots of interesting things to see..FYI there is a lovely waterfront cafe here, well worth coming at lunch time.
Visually amazing, very informative. We got there on the Hop on Hop off bus, an easy way to see the best of Darwin as is this museum.
这里的展品范围广泛,集合了艺术,历史,文化,自然历史和航海展品。它这里的展品还广泛收集了土著艺术品。这里还是可以免费参观的。我特别喜欢的自然历史的展品,还有收集的东南亚的船的展览。如果你在达尔文的话,这绝对值得一游。
A very amazing place to view all sorts of fascinating things about Darwin, even better is that the entry is free!
Very interesting museum, particularly the aboriginal art, the cyclone Tracy exhibit, and the (not air-conditioned) canoe/boat gallery. They have ver accomodating staff, a good cafe, and a spectacular location. Easy ride on any numer of local public buses. Highly recommend.
Sweetheart the croc and the Cyclone Tracy展览对于每个去达尔文参观的人是必须要去看看的。只需要花一个半小时就可以参观完。展览布置得很好,很值得看。
我们几乎在这家精心设计的博物馆待了一整天,那里有各种各样的展品。他们用心地将展品组合在一起,从土著艺术到鳄鱼,构成许多不同的主题。他们的展品很棒,配上详尽的解说,极好地介绍了北部地区的方方面面。孩子和成年人都会喜欢它的,那里有内部活动区域以及店铺和餐馆。餐馆有着漂亮的阳台和周到的服务,但食物就没有这里的环境那么好了。
Very simple but very interesting gallery and the Exhibit for Cyclone Tracy is a must see. Experiencing the sound booth of what the sound must have been like for the locals was an experience in itself. The touch screens with the voices of the locals imparting their experience was very touching and I could feel myself getting quite teary. The stuffed crocodile "Sweetheart" showed me just how huge the crocs grow up there (5.1 metres and 700 kgs) and watching the story of his sad demise made me realise that the idea was to relocate not eradicate. All is all a very good museum to wander through.
This was my second visit which speak volumes as I'm not much of a museum or gallery type. I love the exhibitions here and would recommend to all whom visit Darwin.
