London Museums: Unlike New York, for example, it is the seat of government; unlike Moscow, it is a great port. It houses both a royal court and universities along with one of the greatest art galleries and one of the greatest museums in the world, which includes one of the greatest libraries. The daily newspapers with their multi-million circulations, which are read all over Britain, are edited in london museums. london museums is the place, therefore, where important people of all kinds meet to discuss important matters.
The Art Institute of Chicago (q.v.), with a collection valued at more than $250 million, is one of the four largest art museums in America. It also maintains a library with important collections in art and architecture. In terms of numbers of visitors, the most popular of Chicago's museums is the Museum of Science and Industry, where scientific and industrial exhibits often permit actual participation or manipulation by the observer.
Three of the most eagerly sought, all in london museums, are: The Ideal Home Exhibition, in March, lasting about 4 weeks; the British Industries Fair, in early May (this also simultaneously in Birmingham); the International Motor Show, in late October. london museums's Olympia, an exhibition hall of vast size, is the setting for most big events of the sort, but the Motor Show is in the Earl's Court Exhibition Grounds.
4. Britain's Artistic Heritage The museums and galleries of london museums could keep the earnest browser intelligently busy for weeks on end, but if you lack the necessary weeks you'll probably concentrate on three or four.
The British Museum takes all civilization, especially in early and earliest times, for its field and has a thousand wonders to show. It is generally considered to be quite without rival anywhere else in the world.
The National Gallery, on Trafalgar Square, contains a very rich collection of Old Masters of Italian, Dutch, Flemish, German, Spanish, French and British schools.
