Good morning, and welcome to the museum — one with a remarkable range of exhibits,which I'm sure you'll enjoy.

上午好，欢迎来到博物馆。我们博物馆展品丰富，相信你们一定会享受这次参观的。 My name's Greg, and I'll tell you about the various collections as we go round. 我叫Greg，在参观的过程中我会给你们讲解不同的藏品。

But before we go, let me just give you a taste of what we have here. 不过在出发之前，我先简短地给你们介绍一下我们的藏品。

This is the gallery that attracts the largest number of visitors, 这个画廊吸引的参观者人数最多，

so it's best to go in early in the day, before the crowds arrive. 所以大家最好早一点，赶在大批人群到来之前进去，

Then there are the nineteenth-century paintings. 然后，我们还有十九世纪的画作。

The museum was opened in the middle of that century, 博物馆是在十九世纪中期建成的，

and several of the artists each donated one work — to get the museum started, as it were.

好像为了筹建这座博物馆，几位画家每人捐赠了一幅作品。

不过那里的许多雕塑都已经被挪到了博物馆的其他区域。

' Around the world ' is a temporary exhibition — you've probably seen something about it onTV or in the newspapers.

And many of them were discovered by ordinary people digging heir gardens and donated to themuseum!
