		<description><![CDATA[When John Cotton Dana wrote The Gloom of the Museum in 1917, American museums were still in their infancy. The image he offered of the museums of the early twentieth century is both disappointing and frustratingly familiar. We&#8217;re trying to be too much like Europe, he declared, adding derisively that, like their counterparts across the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=historein.wordpress.com&#038;blog=7416470&#038;post=178&#038;subd=historein&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is really only one way to describe the recent film Bright Star: It is exactly like the poetry of one of its central characters, John Keates. This movie is painfully beautiful and heart-wrenchingly tragic, ceaselessly Romantic, lyrical and slow-moving. And on top of all that, like all the best poetry of the past and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=historein.wordpress.com&#038;blog=7416470&#038;post=149&#038;subd=historein&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know I&#8217;ve been talking a lot about living history lately, but I want to touch upon one more issue that living history museums and interpreters often find themselves discussing. That issue is costuming. Correct costuming is often the first step in creating a good, believable living history experience. But what is &#8220;correct&#8221;? Must costumes [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=historein.wordpress.com&#038;blog=7416470&#038;post=141&#038;subd=historein&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
