SIR WILLIAM HENRY FLOWER 

 DIRECTOR OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM FROM 1884 TO 1898 



Sir William Flower probably did more than any other man to change the character 

 of museum exliibits and make them attractive as well as instructive. He not only planned 

 the exhibits and gave his personal attention to their installation, but in some instances he 

 prepared the specimens himself. In tliis country like credit should be given to Dr. G. Brown 

 Goode, who was an ardent admirer of Flower and his work in the British Museum
