The hall of history (of the Peale)
The Artist in his museum
- 1822 by Charles Willson Peale (1741-1827)
- Reproduction of the original oil on canvas, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.
- In Charles Willson Peale’s museum were displayed portraits of famous Americans, but also natural history specimens.
- The Peale family collected and created elaborate dioramas to give them life and context inside the museum.
- We also see a mastodon skeleton depicted.
The rooms are small
to match the physical museum
- Tour led by David London, Chief Experience Officer, The Peale
- The man in the top hat.
Silhouettes were an art form
- A silhouette was a cheap alternative to a portrait
A touch of natural history
- That bird is a Dodo

This room is too large
to fit into the museum
- So it floats above.

- A museum's limitations are also left behind in a virtual world.
