NEW FOGG MUSEUM TO OPEN JUNE 20

Fine Arts 1d Will Be Shifted to New Museum--Building Closed to Other Use Until Summer

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The new Fogg Museum of Fine Arts, now in the process of completion on Quincy Street, will not be opened until this June, it was announced yesterday. June 20 is the tentative date set for the formal opening, a period of three months being deemed necessary for the transference of all volumes, paintings, and sculptures from the old museum. These will have to be put on the new shelves and arranged in the exhibition rooms in harmony with new stock and will involve careful preparation.

February 15 is the date on which the moving of the treasures will begin. The work will of necessity progress slowly, and will be in the charge of experts. It is not expected by the authorities that the moving will interfere with the work going on in the old building.

Classes will continue in the old museum, with the library and most important exhibitions remaining until last.

Fine Arts 1d, a second half-year course in medieval Renaissance and Modern Art, supplementing Fine Arts 1c, will be given in the new building, on account of its size. It is the only course being transferred and will have the distinction of being the first course to be given in the new Fogg Museum whose lecture room is completed and ready for occupancy
