Text description provided by the architects. In June we shared with you a first look at Zaha Hadid Architects' Riverside Museum in Glasgow, Scotland. Opened officially on June 21st the museum in a short seven week time period has already welcomed over half a million visitors!

扎哈·哈迪德说：“看到新博物馆吸引了每个人的想象力，真是太棒了。”“社会上所有成员对创新和发现的热情是非常令人兴奋的。”

“It is wonderful to see that the new museum has captured everyone’s imagination,” said Zaha Hadid. “Such passion for innovation and discovery from all members of the community is very exciting.”

“河畔博物馆自向公众开放的那天起就大受欢迎。我们知道游客们有多喜欢开尔文大厅的旧交通博物馆，但即使如此，人们对河滨博物馆的反应也是惊人的。人们的反馈是压倒性的，我们已经看到游客们一次又一次地回到格拉斯哥，享受格拉斯哥的最新魅力，“共享的议员戈登·马西森说。

"The Riverside Museum has been a huge hit since the day it opened to the public. We knew just how much visitors loved the old Museum of Transport at Kelvin Hall but even so, the reaction to the Riverside Museum has been phenomenal. The feedback from people has been overwhelmingly positive and we are already seeing visitors returning time and again to enjoy Glasgow's latest attraction," shared Councillor Gordon Matheson.

8月11日，博物馆超过50万英镑的参观者是克尔一家。科尔表示：“我爸爸在亚罗斯的院子里工作，我很想带他到这里参观。这是一栋很棒的建筑，他们做得很好。我去过开尔文大厅(Kelvin Hall)和阿尔伯特大道(Albert Drive)的旧博物馆，但这座建筑与众不同。我们真的很享受我们的参观。”

The visitors who tipped the museum over the 500,000 mark on August 11 were the Kerr family. Mr Kerr said: "My dad worked in the yards at Yarrows and I would have loved to have shown him round here. It is a fantastic building and they have done a great job. I have been to the old museums at Kelvin Hall and Albert Drive but this building is something else. We really enjoyed our visit."

河滨博物馆的设计来源于它的背景。位于开尔文河与克莱德河交汇处，设计从城市流向河流，象征着博物馆从一个向另一个过渡的动态关系。该设计是一种分段挤压，沿着一条改道的直线通道在两端开放，使博物馆能够将自己定位为流经这座城市最具历史意义的地点之一的第三条河流。

The Riverside Museum’s design is derived from its context. Located where the River Kelvin joins the Clyde, the design flows from the city to the river; symbolizing a dynamic relationship where the museum is the transition from one to the other. The design is a sectional extrusion, open at opposing ends along a diverted linear path, allowing the museum to position itself as a third river flowing through one of the city’s most historic locations.

该博物馆是交通、工程和造船遗产的所在地，这使格拉斯哥成为“帝国的第二座城市”。哈迪德的第一个主要的公共委员会在英国开放，藏有3000多件展品，博物馆展示了格拉斯哥伟大成就、充满活力的精神和技术突破的丰富多样的故事。

The museum is home to the transport, engineering and shipbuilding legacy that made Glasgow the ‘Second City of the Empire’. Hadid’s first major public commission to open in the UK and housing more than 3,000 exhibits, the museum reveals the rich and varied stories of Glasgow’s great achievements, vibrant spirit and technological breakthroughs.

哈迪德解释说：“格拉斯哥的历史与克莱德河的历史有着千丝万缕的联系，他们一起为博物馆的设计提供了信息。”他说：“透过建筑，我们可以研究未来的可能性，但也可以探讨界定这座城市的文化基础。河畔博物馆是真正独特的项目，在这里展览和建筑聚集在这个著名的位置克莱德，以吸引和激励所有的游客。

“The history of Glasgow is profoundly interlinked with the history of the River Clyde and together they have informed the museum’s design,” explains Hadid. “Through architecture, we can investigate future possibilities yet also explore the cultural foundations that have defined the city. The Riverside Museum is truly unique project where the exhibits and building come together at this prominent location on the Clyde to engage and inspire all visitors.

“流体设计延续了格拉斯哥丰富的工程传统，真正展示和庆祝了当地工程师和承包商的技能和热情，他们帮助这座建筑恢复了生机。河畔博物馆从格拉斯哥伟大的工业历史中崛起，成为这个正在拥抱其未来的现代城市的组成部分。“

“The fluid design continues Glasgow’s rich engineering traditions; a true demonstration and celebration of the skills and passion of local engineers and contractors who helped to bring this building to life. The Riverside Museum rises from Glasgow’s great industrial past to become an integral element of the modern city which is embracing its future.”

在博物馆开幕时，议员Matheson说：“格拉斯哥作为一个工业巨人，在工程和造船方面的全球领先者的历史，在建筑杰作中受到赞扬，这表明我们仍然处于设计和技术的前沿。在建造船只和桨轮的同一地点，河滨博物馆的推出是格拉斯哥和苏格兰都可以引以为荣的时刻。在我们庆祝过去的同时，我们决心展望未来。事实上，现在格拉斯哥从事文化和旅游业工作的人比在造船厂工作过的人还多，甚至在他们的鼎盛时期也是如此。格拉斯哥是一座城市，从后工业荒地转变为全球文化和体育目的地。“

At the opening of the museum Councillor Matheson said: “Glasgow’s history as an industrial giant, a global leader in engineering and shipbuilding, is celebrated in an architectural masterpiece which shows that we remain at the cutting edge of design and technology. On the same spot where ships and paddle steamers were built, the launch of the Riverside Museum is an occasion which both Glasgow and Scotland can be proud of. While we celebrate our past, we are determined to look to the future. Indeed, now there are more people working in Glasgow in culture and tourism than ever worked in the shipyards even at their height. Glasgow is a city transformed, from post industrial wasteland, to a global destination for culture and sport.”

河滨博物馆上诉委员会主席、凯尔文的史密斯勋爵说：“我要感谢各位受托人、我们的赞助人、公司、信托机构和成千上万的个人，他们都为庆祝格拉斯哥伟大的工业和工程历史作出了贡献。这项呼吁筹集到的每一分钱都花在了创造一个正在成为英国主要旅游景点之一的地方，但更重要的是，在这个地方，孩子们可以受到技能和才能的启发，这些才能使格拉斯哥成为一个全球伟人。“

Lord Smith of Kelvin, Chair of the Riverside Museum Appeal said: “I want to thank the trustees, our patrons, companies, trusts and the many thousands of individuals who have all contributed to this outstanding celebration of Glasgow’s great industrial and engineering history. Every penny raised by the appeal has been spent on creating what is becoming one of the UK’s leading visitor attractions, but more importantly, a place where children can be inspired by the skills and talents which made Glasgow a global great.”
