点评:We wanted to venture out from Husavik on our way to Akureyri. I heard of this museum from a map brochure. I would NEVER have thought to visit a museum such as this. A whale-watching tour staffer local recommended it. Because November is off-season, we had to contact them by email to arrange a tour. We were just 12 hours from our only possible visiting time. Anita was amazing and responded immediately, and accommodated our request for 1 PM the following day. The drive past Akureyri to Siglufjordhur was beautiful and exciting, and much quicker than expected.
Anita was waiting there for us. We ultimately entered three different buildings. Each had its own purpose to tell the Icelandic Herring Industry story. No wonder this museum has won so many Icelandic and international awards. The boathouse made you feel like you were on the wharf, entering a variety of fishing boats. All were well displayed with great pictorial explanations surrounding them.
Daniel guided us to the next two buildings. His parents were a part of this industry. The next building provided the industrial sense of preparing the fish into products. The third building was the most intriguing to us. It brought out the human side of the industry. The displays, artifacts, and furnishings were exquisitely arranged. So clean. I felt I had walked back in time. This museum was NOT about fish. It was about Iceland’s entry into the industrial world. It was truly an amazing experience.
Certainly the best part of the visit was Daniel’s willingness to answer our seemingly endless questions with detailed and thoughtful responses. In many ways he was relaying his family’s story, and why Siglufjordhur was and is such an amazing place. Instead of whisking us out on a day the museum should be closed, he tied up all the loose ends about the industry and the town. It was the best part of a special day.
翻译:我们想在前往阿克雷里的途中从胡萨维克出发冒险。我是从一本地图小册子上听说这个博物馆的。我从来没有想过参观这样的博物馆。一位当地的赏鲸团工作人员推荐了这里。因为11月是淡季,我们不得不通过电子邮件联系他们安排行程。距离我们唯一可能的参观时间只有 12 个小时。 Anita 非常棒,她立即回复,并满足了我们第二天下午 1 点的要求。经过阿克雷里前往锡格鲁峡湾的旅程美丽而令人兴奋,而且比预期的要快得多。
安妮塔在那里等我们。我们最终进入了三座不同的建筑。每个人都有自己的目的来讲述冰岛鲱鱼业的故事。难怪这座博物馆赢得了如此多的冰岛和国际奖项。船库让你仿佛置身于码头,走进各种渔船。所有这些都得到了很好的展示,周围还配有精美的图片说明。
丹尼尔带我们去了接下来的两栋建筑。他的父母都是这个行业的一部分。下一座建筑具有将鱼加工成产品的工业意义。第三栋建筑是最让我们感兴趣的。它展现了这个行业人性化的一面。展品、文物和家具布置精美。这么干净。我感觉我已经回到了过去。这个博物馆不是关于鱼的。这是关于冰岛进入工业世界的事。这确实是一次奇妙的经历。
当然,这次访问最精彩的部分是丹尼尔愿意通过详细而深思熟虑的回答来回答我们看似无穷无尽的问题。他以多种方式讲述了他家族的故事,以及为什么锡格鲁峡湾过去和现在都是一个如此神奇的地方。他没有在博物馆应该关闭的那天带我们出去,而是把有关该行业和小镇的所有未解决的问题都解决了。这是一个特殊的日子里最好的部分。
