Talk:Leverian collection

There are images here here and here but I am not sure if we can just snaffle them. -- ALoan (Talk) 09:24, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Existing image
There are good reasons to believe that the image called "Leverian Museum" here is of the facade on Blackfriars Road of the Blackfriars Rotunda instead. See Talk:Surrey Institution. Also the licensing status of that image is questionable, to say the least; it could and really should be replaced on Commons by something of clearer provenance, and the location sorted out.

Name change -> Leverean Museum?
We have an issue with the current article. Holophusikon, I speculate, is the name of the Leverean Museum in its Leicester Square incarnation. Would we not be better to have a Leverian Museum article to which Holophusikon redirects, so that we can in the one article talk about the museum in both of its incarnations - Leicester Square and Blackfriars? (see also Talk:Blackfriars Rotunda) --Tagishsimon (talk) 20:30, 14 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, logical, but I think Leverian collection would be an apt title. There is actually a whole recent book on the disposal of the collection, for example. Charles Matthews (talk) 15:40, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
 * So now the two articles are of similar length, after material copied back here. There should be more here now about Lever's collecting (otherwise the business of Banks's veto makes little sense, for example). is Holophusicon: The Leverian Museum: An Eighteenth-Century English Institution of Science, Curiosity, and Art by Adrienne L. Kaeppler (2011) which will have details. Charles Matthews (talk) 16:43, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
