Delegates From 115 Museums Discuss Art Protection Here

A conference of 115 museums from all over the country to decide how best to protect works of art in an "emergency," opens at the Fogg Art Museum this afternoon with a meeting dealing with the properties and deterioration of stone ceramics, and glass.

The delegates, who are coming from as far away as Toledo and Cleveland, arrive this morning. They will be lodged in the spare rooms in the Business School, in the Faculty Club, and in Cambridge hotels. This morning's preliminary meeting will be given over to discussion of the general problems the convention is to face.
