New York Academy of Medicine (2 East 103rd St., New York 29): 



In addition to its rich collection of books, prints, medals, the Academy has for 

 a good many years been accumulating old instruments and other objects illustrating 

 medical research and practice. There is enough material for a medical museum, but

 Doe, hbrarian, dated Feb. 8, 1949). 



Museum of the Peaceful Arts in the City of New York: 



This Museum is quoted here only pro memoria. The idea was originated by 

 George Frederick Kunz (1856-1932): The projected Museum of the peaceful arts 

 (paper read before the American Museum Association's meeting. New York 1912, 12

G. Sarton has in his archives a considerable correspondence on the subject.

 This Museum is more concerned with the exhibition of modern discoveries and 



inventions than with their history. 



It was founded by a bequest of Henry R. Towne in 1924 and opened to the 



pubhc in 1927.
