Abstract
A PASTEUR EXHIBITION will be held at the Science Museum, South Kensington, London, during April 10-May 26. The exhibition has been arranged and provided, with the assistance of the Cultural Relations Department of the French Foreign Office, by the Palais de la Decouverte in Paris, where it has recently been on show. This institution is devoted to the exposition of modern science, employing for the purpose the most advanced techniques of visual education. The Pasteur Exhibition includes a chronological account of the chemical and biological work of Louis Pasteur on fermentation, putrefaction, the spontaneous generation of life, and on the causative organisms of numerous diseases of men, animals and plants. The results of his work are illustrated by panels dealing with pasteurization in the brewing and other industries, and the raising of disease-free silkworms. A section of the exhibition deals with the Pasteur Institutes established throughout the world for the preparation of serums and vaccines for the combating of disease epidemics.
