(Translated by Google) What a waste for such a beautiful work. Mr. Grenfell, his wife, his collaborators of yesteryear would be turning in their graves if they knew the welcome that the young attendants give us at this superb museum. And what about current donors and volunteers. A week ago I went to the first museum to understand the work of this doctor. A man of heart. Everything was perfect. The exhibition is magnificent. In the afternoon I wanted to visit the former residence of the doctor and his wife, which is also included in the price of the first museum. I arrived at 12:45 p.m., two other couples told me that the museum opens at 1 p.m. I waited until 1:20 p.m. before leaving with the others. The next morning I came back at 8:50. I waited until 9:15. I went back to the first museum, where I had bought my ticket and asked them what the problem was. Why did we not have access to this second museum. One of the 4 young girls told me that the opening hours were variable due to the lack of staff. I told them that in this case that he reimburse me a fraction of my ticket. In a very condescending tone, she told me that it was impossible and that I had to understand their problem. Their problem??? They were 4 young girls moping around waiting for customers, not to mention the young man and a lady of a certain age. The latter offered me to return to the museum on the other side of the street, a young person would come and open the door for me. When I arrived, one of the two was waiting for me with an angry face, sitting like a toad, both feet on the chair, her nose glued to her cell phone, without looking at me. It was I who said hello to him and asked for the direction in which I should visit the museum. Really! Is there anyone else who could bring credit to Dr. Grenfell? These two museums are only open a few months a year to welcome tourists. They could make an effort. (Original) Quel gchis pour un si bel uvre. M. Grenfell, son pouse, ses collaborateurs dantan se retourneraient dans leur tombe sils savaient laccueil que les jeunes prposes nous font ce superbe muse. Et que dire des donateurs et bnvoles actuels. Il y a une semaine je me suis prsente au premier muse pour comprendre luvre de ce mdecin. Un homme de cur. Tout tait parfait. Lexposition est magnifique. Dans laprs midi jai voulu visiter lancienne rsidence du mdecin et de son pouse, qui est dailleurs inclus dans le prix du premier muse. Je suis arrive 12:45, deux autres couples mont dit que le muse ouvrait 13:00. Jai attendu jusqu 13:20 avant de quitter avec les autres. Le lendemain matin je suis revenue 8:50. Jai attendu jusqu 9:15. Je suis retourn au premier muse, o javais achet mon billet et je leur ai demand quel tait le problme. Pourquoi navions nous pas accs ce deuxime muse. Une des 4 jeunes filles ma dit que les heures douverture taient variables attendu le manque de personnel. Je leur ai dit que dans ce cas quil me rembourse une fraction de mon billet. Dun ton trs condescendant, elle madit que ctait impossible et que je devais comprendre leur problme. Leur problme??? Elles taient 4 jeunes filles se morfondre en attendant les clients, sans compter le jeune homme et une dame dun certain ge. Cette dernire ma offert de retourner au muse lautre ct de la rue, une jeune viendrait mouvrir. En arrivant une des deux mattendait le visage enrag, assise en crapaud, les deux pieds sur la chaise, le nez coll sur son cellulaire, sans me regarder. Cest moi qui lui ai dit bonjour et demander le sens dans lequel je devais visiter le muse. Vraiment! Il ny a personne dautre qui pourrait faire honneur au Dr Grenfell? Ces deux muses sont ouverts que quelques mois par anne pour accueillir les touristes. Ils pourraient faire un effort.
