Keagan F - CSTM Sound History

35816
The Royal Commission on National Development in the Arts, Letters & Sciences, in 1951, states that “Apart from the War Museum, Canada has no historical museum to preserve and interpret the traditions of the past” (Massey Commission, 90). Following this, the report discusses the lack of illustration surrounding Canada’s prominent scientific past, noting that “Canada, in the last fifteen years, has become one of the world’s important industrial nations; and a science museum would serve not only to record Canadian achievements in science and technology but as a valuable guide and as a reference for future developments” (Massey Commission, 91). With this discussion the Canada Science and Technology Museum begins to manifest, however, thought was needed in order to create such a museum. The foundations are put forward by J. H. Parkin, Babaian notes the following regarding Parkin: “He saw the museum as having a duel function: to create a ‘visual record’ of Canadian achievements in science and technology, and to provide an educational resource on the history of science and technology for popular and scholarly visitors alike” (Babaian, 4). The museum has evolved over time into what is enjoyed today, exemplary of this growth is the use of sound. This chapter will argue that by way of sonic experience, the Canada Science and Technology Museum has evolved over time to provide more harmonious interiors, culminating in the sound exhibit (Figure 1).
