1834 The Museum of National Manufactures

MUSEUM OF NATIONAL MANUFACTURES
28, Leicester-square.

The object of this useful institution, which is under the management of a board of directors, consisting of men of eminence in the several branches of science and trade, is to bring before the notice of the public the efforts of producers in the various stages of improvement. It was established from the conviction that whatever conceals the manufacturer and the artisan from the view of the consumer of their productions tends to deaden in them all desire of self-improvement in their particular provinces. The museum consists of two spacious rooms on the ground and first floors, round the upper of which there is a gallery; the whole being well filled with a variety of specimens of im- proved machinery, articles of manufacture, whether woollen, silk, or otherwise, and articles of refinement and the polite arts. They are deposited free of all charge to the exhibitors, and references afforded to them by the director in case of need. Admittance, 1s.
