Museum of the Peaceful Arts, Industrial science museum in Midtown Manhattan, United States
The Museum of the Peaceful Arts presented scientific and industrial innovations through machinery demonstrations and educational exhibits at 220 East 42nd Street.
Founded around 1920 at West 40th Street, the museum later moved to the Daily News Building as part of a vision for twenty specialized museums.
The institution differentiated itself by focusing on industrial progress and scientific advancement rather than military achievements or traditional art forms.
The museum displayed diverse technological exhibits, including early aviation equipment, America's first submarine, and devices translating printed text into sound.
Physicist Fay Cluff Brown developed selenium-based innovations at the museum that contributed to text-to-sound conversion technology.
