The Terracotta Time Machine
In the 1980s, Britain's museum culture was in crisis.
Museums were accused of being stuffy and backward-looking. The Natural History Museum responded by charging for entry, creating a new corporate identity and promising glamorous new exhibitions. But what will be the fate of the museum's great scientific tradition that has made it a 'cathedral of 67,000,000 specimens'? Will science be sacrificed to show business or will the 'terracotta time machine' regenerate itself as a vital data base of the environment?
