Contemplating the history and development of the museum profession, the comparison that springs irresistibly to mind is with the coelacanth, that remarkble creature whose brain, in the course of its development from embryo to adult, shrinks in relation to its size, so that in the end it occupies only a fraction of the space available to it.
