this task, of course, requires a solution. the museum today is being formed a very serious scientific base has been created. according to your instruction, which performs the functions of the institute of historyeum operates this the institute works research is being put into circulation new facts documents. a very serious scientific council has been created, at this institute and at the request. e, the institute of the prosecutor general's office participated in the preparation of documents and certificates for the trial on recognizing the blockade of leningrad as genocide. this is also a great work of the institute. lack of space does not allow. now seriously address the issue of forming a unique scientific library of the museum, which would make available e for e, scientists, teachers of youth students of the publication scientific works of the museum storage, so it could be a very serious information center, if i may say so, the center of crystallization of knowledge, and the battle of leningrad at the blockade and the defense of leningrad i cannot but say that the museum today has extensive ties not with the regions of the country from the republics of the ussr the former republics of the

history of this cabinet was really shaped by the rise of disciplinary specialization. so it's the 19th century. we're on museums tended to become more specialized to break into institutions dedicated to art natural history technology and so forth and to be separated off from libraries most of the objects that remained in the aps cabinet were sent either to the pen museum in the case of anthropological collections or to the academy of natural sciences in philadelphia for many of the natural history specimens. and here in the greater boston area. we see a similar pattern where many of the anthropological artifacts that were donated to the antiquarian society the athenaeum or the mhs or now at the peabody museum at harvard. so although these collections are now separate they were once housed together and i really want to emphasize how important it is for us to recognize that early history. we can better see the kinds of concerns and anxieties that were hugely influential in shaping the trajectory of museums through the present day. we can imagine and put in conversation the different points of view among founders and visitors and we can so recognize the shared history of co

i think you see natural history museums that are very much modeling themselves on institutions in europe, and seeking to be part of this kind of a larger process of exchange. and really kind of trying to build these -- that can compete with the institutions that are already more established in europe. so i think that that pattern is really carries on and it continues with the founding of some of these later, more specialized museums too. >> well, in the spirit of history and dialogue, i think we should open it up to our brilliant audience. we have a number of questions bubbling away. please add yours in the next couple of minutes. and, we are just going to dive in. >> sounds great. >> first up, do you have a favorite old cabinet or museum that still exists in some form today for visiting? >> oh, that is such an interesting question. i would say you know, i would say that i have really appreciated a lot of recent curatorial projects that are kind of thinking explicitly about this history and tradition. i think about the british museum, they have their enlightenment gallery where they have brought together a lot of the c
