[2] Apothecaries may have seen this as a chance to expand their medical activities, as well as acting altruistically. George Griffenhagen , pharmacist and acting curator of the Smithsonian Institution , did extensive research into the evolution of the show globe and laid to rest many of the more unusual stories about its origin.
