点评:Found this museum while walking around Cairns and expected the usual "municipal museum." It greatly exceeded expectations. The staff were welcoming and very helpful, even helping me find areas of my interest that I had missed. The focus is primarily on the European settlement of the area, and it does a phenomenal job of explaining and illustrating that aspect, giving an idea of what life was like at each of the stages, and the factors both motivating and challenging that phase, with a wide range of artifacts to help illustrate what is explained.
There is much less about the First Nations (aboriginal) inhabitants. There is a small section about the original inhabitants, and there is a larger section devoted to aboriginal citizens today and contributions since European settlement.
Definitely worth a visit if you are interested in the history, and well worth the very modest price.
翻译:在凯恩斯散步时发现了这个博物馆,并期待着常见的“市政博物馆”。大大超出了预期。工作人员很热情,非常乐于助人,甚至帮助我找到我错过的感兴趣的领域。重点主要集中在该地区的欧洲定居点,它在解释和说明这一方面做了出色的工作,让人们了解每个阶段的生活是什么样的,以及激励和挑战该阶段的因素,各种各样的文物来帮助说明所解释的内容。
关于原住民(原住民)居民的资料要少得多。其中一小部分是关于原住民的,还有一大部分专门介绍当今的原住民以及自欧洲殖民以来的贡献。
如果您对历史感兴趣,绝对值得一游,并且非常值得非常实惠的价格。
