The Winterthur Museum is a collection and a house There are many

museums devoted to the decorative arts and many house museums, but rarely in

the United States is a great collection displayed in a great country house Passing through successive generations of a single family, Winterthur has been a private estate for more than a century Even after the extensive renovations made to it between 1929 and 1931, the house remained a family residence This fact is of

importance to the atmosphere and effect of the museum The impression of a lived-in house is apparent to the visitor: the rooms look as if they were

vacated only a short while ago whether by the original owners of the furniture or the most recent residents of the house can be a matter of personal interpretation

page: 4

Winterthur remains, then, a house in which a collection of furniture and

architectural elements has been assembled Like an English country house, it is

an organic structure; the house, as well as the collection and manner of displaying it to the visitor, has changed over the years The changes have coincided with developing concepts of the American arts, increased knowledge

on the part of collectors and students, and a progression toward the achievement

of a historical effect in period-room displays The rooms at Winterthur have followed this current, yet still retained the character of a private house

The concept of a period room as a display technique has developed gradually over the years in an effort to present works of art in a context that would show them to greater effect and would give them more meaning for the viewer Comparable to the habitat group in a natural history museum, the period room represents the decorative arts in a lively and interesting manner and provides an opportunity to assemble objects related by style, date, or place of manufacture

1 What does the passage mainly discuss?

A The reason that Winterthur was redesigned

B Elements that make Winterthur an unusual museum

C How Winterthur compares to English country houses

D Historical furniture contained in Winterthur

2 The phrase "devoted to" in line 2 is closest in meaning to

3 What happened at Winterthur between 1929 and 1931?

A The owners moved out B The house was repaired

C The old furniture was replaced D The estate became a museum

4 What does the author mean by stating "the impression of a lived-in house

is apparent to the visitor" (lines 7-8)?

A Winterthur is very old

B Few people visit Winterthur

C Winterthur does not look like a typical museum

D The furniture at Winterthur looks comfortable

5 The word "assembled" in line 12 is closest in meaning to

C brought together D fundamentally changed
