I went to Beamish Museum today..
FYI, Beamish Museum is the biggest open-air museum in England..
meaning, all the exhibitions in the museum are live exhibitions..
as in, there will be someone station there to explain everything you want to know..
and the staff usually wear the clothes that represent the timeline they are in which is mostly set in 1913..
There are a few places to visit in the museum, each with different themes..
I visited the town, home farm, school, ranch, train station and underground coal mine!!!
The coal mine might be the most attractive exhibitions..
I finally knew that it was very very tough to become a miner...
Low pay, hard work and extremely dangerous...
The average mortality rate of miners in England in 1950's were 1 every 8 minutes!!!
Can you imagine that???
1 miner died every 8 minutes!!!
There are so much more interesting stuff to say about the museum...
but rather than giving long details..
why not just visit my multiply site here and enjoy the photos..
hehehe...
