BETTER MUSEUMS
IDEAS FOR BRIGHTERIKG UP LONDON, October 12. Museums and art galleries will become a good deal more than a wet-day refuge if the recommendations of the Royal Commission investigating them are adopted, with the slogan brighter and better museums and art galleries. Domestic life has at last gained recognition and an open air folk museum may record for posterity to marvel ”ti. the breakfast table quarrel, the putting out of the cat, and all the other incidents which have hitherto been regarded as unworthy of perpetuity. Better publicity and advertising is urged, and, as a place of entertainment, museums with their fearsome posters, may rival the theatres. It is proposed that the British Natural History, and Science Museums, and the National, Tate, and ‘■'cottish Art Galleries ‘hould be ipen until S p.m. on two evenings a week. The development of a system of guide attendants, and the abolition of all fees, and the provision of four new museums are also proposed.
