The Historical Street scene Hall depicted the daily life of ordinary people in a Free State town at the end of the 19th to early 20th century. Household articles were shown in context, for example, a stove and a fridge of that period in a kitchen. Mr. Nuttal, Director, National Museum indicated that most of the furniture and household items were donated by the public, but certain pieces were purchased. The exhibition included scenes of a pharmacy, general dealer, blacksmith and a cobbler. The Committee proceeded to the invertebrate hall that depicted certain aspects of the biology of invertebrates, such as movement and communication and also the biodiversity of invertebrates.
