R. T. Baker b. 1 December 1854

  • Curator
Baker was educated in UK arriving Australia in 1879. As a curator at the Technological Museum, Baker became a great supporter of the use of Australian flora and fauna in design and decoration. He also published widely on other Australian natural resources such as NSW stone and Australian timbers. His book The Australian Flora in Applied Art (1915) and his purchases for the museum were a great influence on the decorative arts.
