Title: BUSCH-REISINGER MUSEUM

Teaching Program of the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures:
The museum's collections are particularly strong in the art of the twentieth century, with a notable contribution from the Bauhaus movement in both western culture and Expressionism. The museum's art collection includes several significant phases and additions from post-war Germany.

The museum's activities are of immediate use to the university community, but the full potential is realized only through its permanent collections, which are expected to continue growing.

Conclusion:
The new financial resources will help the museum operate on a balanced budget and expand its activities. To maximize its usefulness, the museum should aim to fill gaps in its collections. The most significant gap is in the area of German old master paintings, which is not well-represented in other museums in the United States, such as those in Boston and Metropolitan New York.

The lack of German Romantic painting is also noted, as seen in the exhibition of Goethe's time. The museum should also consider expanding its collections of decorative arts from the late Middle Ages to the present to reflect the daily life and civilization that produced them.

Curator: Charles L. Kuhn
