The image displays a page from a document related to the Busch-Reisinger Museum of Germanic Culture. It contains two main sections: a narrative portion and an appendix listing accessions.
The text discusses the museum's relationship with current literary and intellectual trends, noting that while such examples are rare, some characteristic works of high quality might still be acquired. The museum has a notable collection of Germanic art from the Mediaeval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods, though these works are widely scattered and often expensive. Greater Boston's public collections provide limited examples, making it difficult for students to gain a comprehensive understanding of the visual art from these periods.
The text emphasizes the potential for future acquisitions through the generosity of donors. The main future focus of the museum, even at the expense of current activities, should be on developing a well-rounded and representative collection that showcases the major facets of Germanic culture.
The narrative is signed by Charles L. Kuhn, the Curator.
