It must be a challenge to create a
museum about a literary movement. How to you make a display about the
written and spoken word? You can show photos and video clips but we expect a
museum to exceed what we can see at home in a documentary. There
are a few artifacts on display such as typewriters, all the ones here
are described as a model “Similar to one that would have been used
by X when he wrote Y”, but none used by the actual authors,
probably all those original machines have been lost.
Three actual artifacts did stand out.
A Jacket that was owned and worn by
Jack Kerouac.
