What are His Majesty the King's development visions that could ensure the majority of Thais a reasonable standard of living and cushion them from future economic crises? Visit the King's "Living Museums" for the answer. Among the royal advice to be found there: restore the environment, respect natural and cultural diversity, listen to the locals, go for simplicity, forego inter-agency rivalry and strive for self-reliance. The museums, known officially as Royal Development Study Centres, show His Majesty's holistic and pragmatic development approach governed by Buddhist philosophy. They also imply a major bureaucratic overhaul would be needed for his visions to be fully realised Sanitsuda Ekachai A fter several decades of modern development in Thailand, the gap between the rich and the poor is wider than ever, while the natural environment, the people's source of sustenance, is in tatters. With the economic crisis plunging the rural folks deeper into hardship, how can we turn things around?

On-Campus IQP Programs LIVING MUSEUMS PROGRAM Prof. J. Hanlan, Salisbury 23 The Living Museums Program provides students with unusual opportunities to carry out IQP projects at a number of the culturally rich and varied museums of New England. Museums synthesize knowledge and combine artifacts with primary and secondary documents, often to create an entire social and physical environment. Thus, as students work with professional staff, documents, and artifacts at museum sites, they will gain an understanding of the past and present, and begin to see how the various aspects of human life fit together to form a specific culture. At the outstanding museums participating in the program, students can select projects from a varied list of areas ranging from medieval warfare at the Higgins Armory Museum in Worcester to the rich history and literary culture of Concord, MA, at the Concord Museum and the Thoreau Lyceum. Special projects are available each summer in Term E at several museums and historical institutions such as : the Royal Armouries at the Tower of London; the Imperial War Museum, London; Mechanics Hall, Worcester, MA; the Worcester Historical Museum; and Fruitlands Museum in Harvard, MA.

Search Canada for Visitors Bring History to Life Museums with a Difference What is a Living Museum? My husband is a student of history and for the past 25 years has dragged me into every antique shop, museum, and old book store we have been able to find in British Columbia. At first it was different, exciting. Then it became boring, until he took me to my first Living Museum. Living museums have been called just about anything from a "Historical Site" to "Amusement Park", but I like the term Living Museum, as it most accurately describes what they they to accomplish. In the simplest terms, a living museum can be anything from a single building to an entire town, which has not only been structurally restored, but people volunteer or are hired to role play a character from the era being presented. Asking these actors a question brings to light their knowledge of where and when they are depicting. As an example, we were in a house at the O'Keefe Ranch in Vernon, and my son commented on the "funny looking telephone". Our guide politely explained that her son went to the east to work with Mr. Bell on his invention, which is why they had one of the newest models. It wasn't "funny looking", it was the latest style.

Living Museums Further tourist information is available from You get a great feeling for early life in a Shetland crofthouse at the Crofthouse Museum, Dunrossness. This restored thatched crofthouse and watermill is as it would have looked in the 1890's. If the smell of the peat smoke is too much for your nose, then take a sniff of the reest or salt fish, the custodians often dry above the fire. Have a go at setting the moose faa while you are there - a very effective trap! While at the South end of Shetland, why not compare the mill at the Crofthouse Museum with the Quendale Water Mill. The mill was built in 1867 to handle the grain from the Quendale Estate, but it also ground grain for crofters from a very wide surrounding area. The mill still operates in winter when there is enough water to drive to wheel, a video of the workings can be viewed in the attached centre. Imagine the smell and dust when the mill was working at full capacity.

But for His Majesty the King, the restoration of the balance of nature is not an end in itself. It is a means to guarantee a vigorous, life-sustaining system for the rural poor. In a marriage of nature and human effort, His Majesty has invented a method to speed up reforestation by building hundreds of small, simple check-dams, using bricks and earth, in the mountain streams. The aim is to spread the moisture to a wider area and retain it to nurture the trees for as long as possible, before the water flows into the reservoir below. By keeping the forest soil damp, fires are prevented, thus allowing the forest to regenerate more quickly. work after several decades of searching for a low-cost, simple, and effective cure for rural poverty. His conclusion was ; there exists no uniform, single formula for a solution to the problem, given the vast diversity of geography that dictates the conditions of land, water supply

Intro Author Subject Volume ... NPS October-November, 1939 Old Dwelling (above) and an Ancient Viking Church Transplanted in the Folkemuseum By M. D. Jones, Assistant Engineer, Richmond Sweden and Norway have an old civilization developed during many centuries uninterrupted by historical catastrophe. Those northern countries have never been subdued by foreign races throughout the last 2,000 years, and although their history records terrible and bloody wars, none has been carried deeply into their territories. Their civilization has been spared pillage and destruction and much has been preserved of the early environment and customs. It is through preservation of this heritage that future generations may possess treasures of incalculable historical interest in the form of living museums where the observer may go back for a day and live the life of his ancestors. It is not by mere accident, therefore, that archeology, as well as ethnographical research, has flourished so richly within the boundaries of the northern countries. In many nations, much of the life of early inhabitants has been lost to history, and it has become impossible for new generations to obtain a picture of the progress and appreciate the true character of their people. The preservation of a few houses and their furnishings is good enough to convey an impression of a segment of the life of the past; but such preservation, if supplemented by that of the characteristic environment, affords at once a vivid and authentic picture of early days. Norway and Sweden have built living outdoor museums where the life of early ancestors is preserved for observation and study by the descendants.
