Sir R. Witt: How to Enjoy Museums - A Comparison with American Methods

on 5XX Daventry

View in Radio Times

For the artistic education of a nation it is not enough to provide museums; they must be made readily accessible and attractive to ordinary people. Sir Robert Witt has every right to talk on this subject, for nobody in this country has done more to make pictures accessible to those who want to see them, without being art students in the technical sense. Besides being a Trustee of the National Gallery and of the Tate, and Chairman of the National Art-Collections Fund, and the National Loan Collection Trust, he is a member of the present Royal Commission on our national museums and galleries. He also runs a valuable museum of reproductions at his own house in Portman Square.
