Version of Record

In l876, John Ruskin, one of the greatest thinkers of the Victorian era, established St. George’s Museum in a suburb of the industrial city of Sheffield as a part of his mostly unrealized projects for St. George’s Guild. This paper explores the social and aesthetic significance of this museum which was established to substantiate his ideas on Nature Art and Society, yet has not attracted much attention among Ruskin students until now. Before examining his own museum, I first demonstrate why and how those public museums like the National Gallery, the South Kensington Museum, and the Natural History Museum were successively established during the Victorian era, and prove that they were constructed with the intention of providing some cultural space where the upper-class and middle‐ and lower-class could be unified mentality in a republic of Taste, and making the audience to feel and believe that they all belonged to a political public, i.e. a nation, as well.
