We met the mad Russian at the Pratt Museum at Amherst College. Its mounted skeletons and glass-cased models were there long before interactive displays came into fashion. Anna had smilingly promised me a serious museum when I picked her up at the Boston airport. I could have spent hours exploring it, but she insisted I follow her and the curator to the basement. Downstairs, they opened a heavy door that led into a musty stone room full of fossils. Some were on benches as massive as the room itself; others were in cabinets or in drawers built below the work tables. Some stood on their own low stands. The stone framing of the basement and the cabinets dated from the mid-nineteenth century.
