University of Virginia Library

London Museum

The designs of University
Architecture and City Planning
Prof. H. Cassius Higgins will be
incorporated into the proposed
London Museum, which will
have its cornerstone laid by
England's Queen Elizabeth
tomorrow.

Mr. Higgins, also a senior
partner of the London
architectural firms of Higgins,
Ney and Partners, designed the
exhibit rooms and interior
displays.

"The sole purpose of the
museum," he said, "is to tell
the story of London, tracing
the growth through
archaeological exhibits."

The museum's interior is
organized
"chronothematically," a
thematic approach to
chronological events. Mr.
Higgins, who has taught at the
University the past four
springs, plans to introduce
chronothematics into his
curriculum.
