Four men sit quietly beneath a shelf of “Books of Religious Reference” in a hall in a museum. A small crowd is gathered before them. Further along the hall, another group of four men sits quietly beneath a shelf of “Books of Scientific Reference.” Part of the display, labeled “Geography,” shows an owl perched on an open book labeled “Kosmos” and a man standing next to a globe. Further still along the hall, a man is lecturing to a large gathering in a section labeled “Chemistry.” Portraits of Nicolaus Copernicus, Charles Darwin, Benedictus de Spinoza, and Thomas Paine hang from the vaulted archways above.
