BRIGHT IDEAS.
FOR BRIGHTENING UP
MUSEUMS
Museums and art galleries will become a good deal more than a wet-day refuge if the recommendations of the Koval Commission investigating them are adopted, with the slogan brighter and better museums and art galleries, says a London paper. Domestic life has at last gained recognition and an open air folk museum mav record for posterity to marvel at, the breakfast table quarrel, tlffe putting out of the cat and all the other incidents wltich have hitherto been regarded a e 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 Scottish Art Galleries should be open until 8 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.
