Main Text:

Title: The New Policy of the Germanic Museum

Author: By Charles L. Kuhn, Curator

Content:
The Germanic Museum has expanded in various directions due to its collaboration with other art museums at the University. This expansion was facilitated by a reorganization modeled on the library system used by the University libraries, which consolidated various specialized libraries under one general directorship. Similarly, directors of the Fogg Museum, Semitic Museum, and Germanic Museum have appointed curators to work across these institutions to avoid duplication of efforts and to encourage cooperation. This centralization aims to enhance educational endeavors in art and archaeology.

As a result, the Germanic Museum has become an active institution, significantly contributing to the artistic life of the community.

The collections of books and photographs are rapidly growing. Several thousand photographs of German, Flemish, and Scandinavian art have been acquired. These photographs are cataloged and filed at the Fogg Museum, creating a centralized repository of the University’s photographic materials related to fine arts. This acquisition supports the Fogg Museum’s efforts in non-Germanic art areas as well.

Books are also being purchased with a similar intent. A small but notable collection of books and photographs related to contemporary German art has been established.

The Germanic Museum’s founder, Professor Kuno Francke, who was also its first curator, saw his lifelong work culminate in the establishment of this professorship.
