There's a Museum for Everyone
What comes to mind when you think of a museum? Perhaps you an imposing building in a rather conventional(传统的)design made of high-quality stone? Perhaps you imagine a classic , such as the museum of natural history, the museum of fine art, or the national museum -- its exhibits displayed in a time - style and falling in line with tradition.
Some people might consider these customary institutions the best way to the future of typical educational topics. A museum of old breadboards, they may say, does not make up an orthodox(正统的)exhibition. But according to the Museum Association, a museum is defined as a place enabling "... people to collections for inspiration, learning and enjoyment." And so of the 2500 estimated museum in the UK, a few are bound to be considered a little unconventional.
What about Neil Cole's Adventures in Science Fiction? This odd museum of classic science fiction was opened by the Neil Cole. "Science fiction has become more mainstream so I thought people might want to see this," says Mr Cole.
If clocks are more to your , why not visit the Cuckoo-land Museum? Set up by brothers Roman and Maz Piekarski, this collection of over 600 cuckoo(布谷鸟)clocks is considered to be the largest of its kind in the world -- and all from the Black Forest region in Germany.
Finally, you could visit the Victor Wynd Museum of Curiosities in London. This institution reverses the trend of educating visitors through explanations alongside its exhibits. Instead, it displays all of its treasures, which include dodo bones, shrunken heads and a collection of McDonald's Happy Meal toys, with no explanation at all.
