museum exhibit titled “The Search says Dr. G. T. Sharrer, curator of be discovered through research,”
for Life: Agricultural Science in the Smithsonian’s division of Sharrer adds,
the Twentieth Century. ’ ’
The exhibit will be designed to
show American consumers how
agricultural research benefits
their pocketbooks at the grocer’s
checkout, their health, and their
lifestyles.
It will occupy approximately
3,300 square feet and is scheduled
to open in 1987, the centennial year
of the Hatch Act in which Congress
set up the network of federally
funded, state-run agricultural
experiment stations in the United
States.
Initially, the exhibit will travel to
American cities. After 1987, it will
be permanently housed in the
Smithsonian Institution in
Washington D.C.
In addition to the University of
Maryland’s Agricultural Ex
periment Station the univer
sity’s agricultural research
component the project team for
the exhibit will include scientists
from other universities and the
U.S. Department of Agriculture,
staff of the Smithsonian In
stitution, and the New York design
studio of Peter Wexler.
“The primary focus of this
exhibit is on the biochemical
revolution, the contribution that
science makes to agriculture and,
through agriculture, to American
well-being,” says Dr. Raymond J.
Miller, vice president of
agricultural affairs at the
University of Maryland.
Adds designer Peter Wexler; “In
this biochemical revolution,
genetics, growth, and disease
control are the principal subjects
in a story of how agricultural
scientists are coming to un
derstand life in terms of evolution
against stress.”
The exhibit will be divided into 1940-1970 during which researchers
three sections, based on a Crick and Watson set the scientific
historical transition; the first world on its heels with their por
