Abstract
A description of the external appearance of the London Museum, built in the early nineteenth century. William Bullock was the first curator of a natural history museum to arrange specimens in habitat groups. Exhibits were expanded to include the Roman Gallery and a Napoleon collection. In 1821 when Belzoni acquired museum for Egyptian collections, display of items was carefully planned. In 1823 Bullock again presented specific ethnic exhibits. See 17-945. -- AATA
