The image is a page from a newspaper or magazine, titled "The Harvard Crimson." The article is about the Germanic Museum, which is part of Harvard University. The article discusses the changes made to the museum under the leadership of Dr. Kuhn, who has transformed the museum from a dusty collection of artifacts into a more vibrant and engaging space for visitors. The museum now features a small but significant collection of contemporary textiles, glassware, and silverware, as well as loan exhibitions of worthwhile German originals. The article also mentions the new administration's efforts to improve the museum's lighting and cleanliness, as well as the addition of modern German art exhibitions, original works of sculpture, and concerts of seventeenth and eighteenth-century music. The article concludes by stating that the museum has become a place of permanent exhibition, a lively stimulation for interest in art, and a medium of instruction, carrying on the spirit of its founder, the late Kuno Francke.
The image is a page from a newspaper or magazine, dated Wednesday, January 20, 1932, from "The Harvard Crimson," which was entered as second-class mail matter at the Boston Post Office on December 1, 1877. The page is titled "THE GERMANIC MUSEUM" and features an article about the museum.
The article is divided into two columns. The left column discusses the Germanic Museum, which is described as a college-founded institution with a tradition of collecting dust. It mentions that under the leadership of Dr. Kuhn, the museum has shifted its focus to balance its collection with the idea of exhibiting only what has educational value and leads to an appreciation of German art. Certain isolated plaster casts have been replaced with photographs of the originals, and the museum has improved its displays by cleaning, repainting, and refreshing them with new lighting. The museum now houses a small but significant collection of contemporary textiles, glassware, and silverware. The curator's plan is to create a nucleus around which loan exhibitions of worthwhile German originals can be grouped over time. The article suggests that the museum's rejuvenation may be seen as a concession to casual taste but argues that it is a legitimate way of making Mr. Busch's gift a going concern.
The right column continues the discussion of the museum, noting that with the change in administration, there has been a change in policy that is greatly to be commended. The museum, which formerly collected dust, now has more bulky casts and has cleaned the walls. The article praises the museum for showing its casts to best advantage, arranging them in small exhibition rooms that can be seen from various angles at sufficient distances. It also mentions that exhibitions of modern German art have been arranged, including reproductions, original works of sculpture, and paintings, as well as field formally drawings. The museum also periodically concerts of seventeenth and eighteenth-century music and lectures on art in both German and English. The article concludes by stating that a museum should be completely changed in the space of half a year, should be greatly improved, should be more than a mere place of permanent exhibition, should act as a lively stimulation for interest in art, and should be a medium of instruction as well as a place for research. The Germanic museum has become such a place and will carry on the spirit of its founder, the late Kuno Francke.
