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&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/tristram-hunt-i-dont-miss-politics-8nbkvvp2s" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">2017 interview with&nbsp;<em>The Times</em></a>, director of the V&amp;A and former Labour MP Tristram Hunt, was clearly very happy to have been given the keys to the V&amp;A. Hunt is described as having a smile wider than &lsquo;Tipu&rsquo;s Tiger as it plunges its teeth into a British soldier in a statue&rsquo; 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 &lsquo;can walk easily from the Science Museum to the Natural History Museum and the Royal Albert Hall&rsquo;, 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> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@sumayakassim/the-museum-is-the-masters-house-an-open-letter-to-tristram-hunt-e72d75a891c8"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
