Fix this textA VERITABLE TEMPLE OF
Fix this textKNOWLEDGE IS THE
Fix this textVICTORIA AND ALBERT MUSEUM
Fix this textOVER a million people each year visit
Fix this textthe Victoria and Albert Museum in
Fix this textLondon—one of the great art museums
Fix this textof the world. Its tower, shaped like a
Fix this textcrown, is a well-known landmark in South
Fix this textKensington and the great building covers
Fix this textan area of twelve acres. It has been
Fix this textlikened to a temple—a temple of mag-
Fix this textnificence in which its unrivalled collec-
Fix this texttions are exhibited in galleries extending
Fix this textfor over a mile. The foundation stone or
Fix this textthe museum was laid in 1899 by Queen
Fix this textVictoria—the* last public ceremony per-
Fix this textformed by the Queen before her death.
Fix this textTen years’ later the building was opened
Fix this textby .King, Edtytird .VII. >
Fix this textThe object of the museum is to illus-
Fix this texttrate periods of artistic achievement and
Fix this textto promote the application of art to
Fix this textindustry. It is organised in eleven depart-
Fix this textments, which include architecture and
Fix this textsculpture, ceramics, engraving, illustration
Fix this textand design, metalwork, paintings, wood-
Fix this textwork and textiles. Outstations of the
Fix this textVictoria and Albert are the former pala-
Fix this texttial homes of Osterley Park, Middlesex ;
Fix this textHam House, Richmond, and Apsley
Fix this textHouse at Hyde Park Corner, as well as
Fix this textBethnal Green Museum.
Fix this textTo enumerate the various objects of art
Fix this textin this great treasure house would require
Fix this texta very large volume, and there is space
Fix this texthere to mention only two or three—such
Fix this textas the gilded State barge of the Prince of
Fix this textWales in 1732, with a cabin like Cin-
Fix this textderella’s coach; and The Great Bed of
Fix this textWare, capable of holding seven or eight
Fix this textpeople, which was known to Shakespeare,
Fix this textwho speaks of it in “Twelfth Night.”
Fix this textHere, too, there are gleaming ivories that
Fix this texttell the history of the earliest of the arts
Fix this textwhich began in the Stone Age when
Fix this texthunters carved the bones of reindeer:
Fix this textelaborately carved and decorated key-
Fix this textboard instruments that tell the story of
Fix this texttheir pedigree by way of clavichord, vir-
Fix this textginal, spinet, harpsichord to the modern
Fix this textgrand piano. Magnificent carpets are also
Fix this textdisplayed, among which is the celebrated
Fix this textArdabil Carpet, which shows Persian
Fix this textworkmanship at its highest level. The
Fix this textmuseum is especially rich in Italian sculp-
Fix this textture and Chinese and Japanese lacquer
Fix this textwork. The work of goldsmiths and silver-
Fix this textsmiths is seen in glittering profusion, and
Fix this textall the exhibits bear the mark of perfection.
