Boston, Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and 
the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco), returning to London in 1999.
To 
accompany and support the exhibition, the museum published a book,

which it has made available for reading online on its website.
1900–1950
 
The opening ceremony for the Aston Webb building by King Edward 
VII and Queen Alexandra took place on 26 June 1909.
In 1914 the 
construction commenced of the Science Museum signalling the final split of 
the science and art collections.
Since then the museum has maintained its role 
of one of the world's greatest decorative arts collections. 
In 1939 on the outbreak of World War II, most of the collection was 
sent to a quarry in Wiltshire, to Montacute House in Somerset, or to a tunnel 
near Aldwych tube station, with larger items remaining in situ, sand-bagged 
and bricked in.
Between 1941 and 1944 some galleries were used as a school 
for children evacuated from Gibraltar.
The South Court became a canteen, 
first for the Royal Air Force and later for Bomb Damage Repair Squads.
Before the return of the collections after the war, the 
Britain Can Make 
It
 exhibition was held between September and November 1946,
attracting 
nearly a million and a half visitors.
This was organised by the Council of 
Industrial Design established by the British government in 1944 "to promote 
by all practicable means the improvement of design in the products of British 
industry".
The success of this exhibition led to the planning of the Festival of 
Britain (1951). By 1948 most of the collections had been returned to the 
museum.
