Scope and Contents

Tom Phillips reviews the exhibition and the catalogue "The Museum of the Mind" at the British Museum organized by John Mack. Phillips describes the artifacts ranging from prehistoric to 2001 as "reminders of the importance of the aesthetic; memory is most efficient assisted by artefacts in which coherence is synonymous with beauty...These leaps of time and space and subject sketch a network of associations that builds for the visitor a microcosmic map of the museum as neatly schematic and graphically witty as the plan of the London Underground." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
