36 Dr. Scharff on The Aims and Scope, d^c. 



suggested hy Mr. Wilson he thought a very effective pageant 

 might be organized. 



Sir Otto Jaffe, J. P., in proposing a hearty vote of thanks to 

 Dr. Scharff, said he had no doubt the lecture would bear good 

 fruit. He thought the site which had been selected for their local 

 museum was on the small side. He agreed that they should have 

 regard to the future, and he would be in favour of devoting the 

 whole of the Botanic Gardens Park, or at all events half of it, for 

 the purpose of a museum park. 



Professor Gregg Wilson, in seconding, said they should not 

 be content with a small museum, but should endeavour to have 

 one which would rival some of the beautiful buildings they had 

 seen depicted on the screen. 



The resolution was cordially passed. 



Dr. Scharff, in reply, said he was glad his remarks had already 

 borne fruit, and that there was a general opinion in favour of the 

 whole of the Botanic Gardens Park being devoted to an open-air 

 museum. He quite agreed that it would be a very suitable place 

 for something of the kind as had been so successfully done in 

 Scandinavia. Pie had seen the site which had been chosen for 

 their Belfast museum, and he thought it was a very suitable one. 

 The rest of the park could be laid out as the museums in Stockholm 

 and Christiania had been. In reply to Dr. Trimble, he might say 

 that an art gallery and museum might be combined. It had been 

 .done in many museums very effectively, and he thought it could 

 be done in Belfast. 



The proceedings then terminated.
