The Bulletin  

“THE SWORD OF LAUGHTER"  

‘The Bulletin,”  

Vol. 74—No. 3830  

Wednesday, July 8, 1953  

Price 9cl.  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, for Transmission by Post as Newspaper

VERITABLE TEMPLE OF  

KNOWLEDGE IS THE  

VICTORIA AND ALBERT MUSEUM  

OVER million people each year visit  

the Victoria and Albert Museum in  

London—one of the great art museums  

of the world. Its tower, shaped like  

crown, is well-known landmark in South  

Kensington and the great building covers  

an area of twelve acres. It has been  

likened to temple—a temple of mag-  

nificence in which its unrivalled collec-  

tions are exhibited in galleries extending  

for over mile. The foundation stone or  

the museum was laid in 1899 by Queen  

Victoria—the* last public ceremony per-  

formed by the Queen before her death.  

Ten years’ later the building was opened  

by .King, Edtytird .VII.  

The object of the museum is to illus-  

trate periods of artistic achievement and  

to promote the application of art to  

industry. It is organised in eleven depart-  

ments, which include architecture and  

sculpture, ceramics, engraving, illustration  

and design, metalwork, paintings, wood-  

work and textiles. Outstations of the  

Victoria and Albert are the former pala-  

tial homes of Osterley Park, Middlesex  

Ham House, Richmond, and Apsley  

House at Hyde Park Corner, as well as  

Bethnal Green Museum.  

To enumerate the various objects of art  

in this great treasure house would require  

very large volume, and there is space  

here to mention only two or three—such  

as the gilded State barge of the Prince of  

Wales in 1732, with cabin like Cin-  

derella’s coach; and The Great Bed of  

Ware, capable of holding seven or eight  

people, which was known to Shakespeare,  

who speaks of it in “Twelfth Night.”  

Here, too, there are gleaming ivories that  

tell the history of the earliest of the arts  

which began in the Stone Age when  

hunters carved the bones of reindeer:  

elaborately carved and decorated key-  

board instruments that tell the story of  

their pedigree by way of clavichord, vir-  

ginal, spinet, harpsichord to the modern  

grand piano. Magnificent carpets are also  

displayed, among which is the celebrated  

Ardabil Carpet, which shows Persian  

workmanship at its highest level. The  

museum is especially rich in Italian sculp-  

ture and Chinese and Japanese lacquer  

work. The work of goldsmiths and silver-  

smiths is seen in glittering profusion, and  

all the exhibits bear the mark of perfection.
