520    The nineteenth century witnessed a dramatic shift in the 
       display and dissemination of natural knowledge across 
       Britain and America, from private collections of 
       miscellaneous artifacts and objects to public exhibitions 
       and state-sponsored museums. The science museum as we know
       it--an institution of expert knowledge built to inform a 
       lay public--was still very much in formation during this 
       dynamic period. Science Museums in Transition provides a 
       nuanced, comparative study of the diverse places and 
       spaces in which science was displayed at a time when 
       science and spectacle were still deeply intertwined; when 
       leading naturalists, curators, and popular showmen were 
       debating both how to display their knowledge and how and 
       whether they should profit from scientific work; and when 
       ideals of nationalism, class politics, and democracy were 
       permeating the museum's walls. Contributors examine a 
       constellation of people, spaces, display practices, 
       experiences, and politics that worked not only to define 
       the museum, but to shape public science and scientific 
       knowledge. Taken together, the chapters in this volume 
       span the Atlantic, exploring private and public museums, 
       short and long-term exhibitions, and museums built for 
       entertainment, education, and research, and in turn raise 
       a host of important questions, about expertise, and about 
       who speaks for nature and for history.
