Valuable Specimens in Fogg Museum

Owing to the fact that the Boston Museum of Fine Arts is closed from May 1 to October 1 while the transfer to the new building is being made, some of this best statues and pictures have been sent to the Fogg Art Museum for the summer. This will afford a splendid chance for men interested in Fine Arts to see some of the best pictures and marbles without going into Boston.

The collection arrived at the museum a few days ago and is now on exhibition in three classes as follows: 1. Upstairs, paintings by early Italian masters: on stairway, pictures by certain French masters, Velasquez, and other Spanish masters; on ground floor, paintings by Rombrandt and other Dutch masters. 2. Original Greek marbles. 3. Renaissance Italian marbles.

The museum has already-some valuable early Italian paintings, some fine original Greek marbles, bronzes, and terra-cottas, water-color drawings by Turner and other English masters, and a valuable collection of prints.
