MODERN WONDER - HOUSE

The Evolution of the Museum -

SOMETHING NEW IN EDUCATION

[By Professor J. Árthur Thomson] ·

Sadly often still the mention of a muscum suggests a dreary catacomb, or else a repository for the freakish and out-of-date. People say in their flippancy that this or that old-fashioned thing or even persen, should be put in a museum! But this is to ignore the fact that museums have changed with the times, and are even now in process of rapid evolution, as is convincingly shown by the recent THE MEMBERS of the Compra-Report to the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust by Sir Henry Miers Idere Association will hold an and his committee. Let us outline the evolution of museums,

Illustrating Evolution But with Darwin arose a fresh Impetus-the museums

became Jevolutionary. They began to tell the story of how the world has come to be as it is. Thus there grow the eloquent Oxford museum of man's early inventions and arts, or the Peabody museum at Yale where the visitor can almost watch the horse evolving. The microcosm with its systematic arrangement be- gan to more, as the advance from age to age was vividly displayed. In some folk-museums on the Con- tinent there is a room for each century, and the human figures in the rooms are wearing the appro- priate dress and using the appro- priate furnishing and utensils. And along with the display of racial |erðlution among animals there ap- peared the mast fascinating pre- |parations showing the individual life-history, now of a dragon-fy and again of a frog.

The children are coming to the museum, and the museum is going, to the children.
