#95 — The small-museums sweep: no hospital museum, no family museum, no single-subject museum — the one museum is the whole museum record

The exact page text, read by your browser's voice.

The sweep ran over the two records that would have to show a small museum if one stood here:Class by class: a hospital museum — none, and none possible on this record: no hospital has ever been seated in Walkerton in the record reached (the Health leg's whole finding: the town is served from Plymouth, Bremen, La Porte and South Bend), and a hospital's museum follows its hospital. A family or mother's museumA single-subject museum — none as an institution: the cut-glass collection is a single-subject collection, and it lives inside the one museum and its digital library, never as a separate house with its own name, hours, or door. The register's nearest lines confirm the shape by their kinds — lodges, a Legion post, churches, a pantry, two young foundations — a civic register with no museum line in it at all. The small-museums test therefore prints as a true-size negative: Walkerton's museum record is one institution in three successive homes, and there is no smaller museum beside it to name.
