19th Century Entertainment & Information
- Visiting the Lost Museum website is quite a unique experience, something I have not done before regarding a museum experience; it would have been an even better experience if it was still up and running. The entertainment of this museum I would say was the live animals, as well as the aquarium (which actually had a note saying it was close), and the live exhibitions of both Tom Thumb and Joice Heth. It also provided a lot of information of the current events going on during its present time, for example slavery and abolitionist, immigrants and poverty, when and where president Lincoln was killed, the woman spy and so on. There were some paintings of how men liked to be in taverns drinking and this is pretty much saying that this was the main type of entertainment for men during the 19th century. As for women there was a guidebook on how women should play a proper role in their home.
This museum website is pretty interesting. I say that one would just have to take their time exploring this site, I didn’t find it hard to navigate and I would definitely tell my friends to check it out for themselves when they have a chance.
