Museum of Science and Art, in Course of Construction, on the Kensington-Gore Estate, [London], 1856. Iron building '...purposed to contain the large and valuable collections...belonging to the Dept. of Science and Art; the important trade collection presented to the Royal Commission on the close of the Great Exhibition of 1851...It is not intended that this Museum should be merely an agreeable lounge or promenade to indulge or gratify curiosity alone, but is to be considered more as a National Institution, where every object of importance in science and art, from the earliest period to the present time, can be examined and studied with a view to the improvement of those who may visit the collections...it might very well be named a great instructional museum for the advancement of science and art...The building is constructed from designs and drawings...by Messrs. Charles D. Young and Co., engineers'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
