The Museum is the Master’s House: An Open Letter to Tristram Hunt
<p>What you imagine when walking through the museum is intimately tied not only to who you are, but also what you desire for yourself and your community. In a <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/tristram-hunt-i-dont-miss-politics-8nbkvvp2s" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">2017 interview with <em>The Times</em></a>, director of the V&A and former Labour MP Tristram Hunt, was clearly very happy to have been given the keys to the V&A. Hunt is described as having a smile wider than ‘Tipu’s Tiger as it plunges its teeth into a British soldier in a statue’ near the entrance of the museum. His passion is urban life in the Victorian era. It is his dream to pedestrianise Exhibition Road so that museum visitors ‘can walk easily from the Science Museum to the Natural History Museum and the Royal Albert Hall’, an uninterrupted promenade of progress, culture, and higher learning. One gets the sense that Hunt has found a role in which he can go back in time.</p>
