SOUTH KENSINGTON MUSEUM, Brompton, 1 mile from Hyde Park Corner, is a collection of quaintly-shaped buildings, irreverently called the "Brompton Boilers," erected on the estate purchased with the surplus funds of the International Exhibition of 1851.
South Kensington Museum stands on twelve acres of land, acquired by the Government at a cost of £60,000; these are a portion of the estate purchased by Her Majesty’s Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1851 out of the surplus proceeds of that undertaking.
These were added to the other collections at the South Kensington Museum, and this collection has now, by means of the voluntary contributions of the publishers of educational works and by the aid of the State, become a very important branch of the South Kensington Museum.
