Abstract

A New Museum for London
N. N | January 31, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

In London, one after the other, the National Portrait Gallery, the Tate Gallery, the Wallace Gallery, the British Museum, have shut their doors, and the National Gallery most of its rooms, while South Kensington Museum, for long spared, at last threatens to go the way of the others. The National War Museum, under the directorship of Martin Conway, is as yet a promise rather than an achievement. It has no building of its own, it is still struggling in such space as can be made for it at the Office of Works, its exhibits are mostly scattered here and there, shown in different places, until all can be safely housed together.
