Dooley, discusses the discovery of drawings by Michelangelo at the Fogg Museum.

The article discusses the discovery of two drawings by Michelangelo at the Fogg Art Museum in Cambridge. These drawings, titled "Profile of a Young Man's Head" and "Bearded Man's Head," were previously attributed to a different artist but have been reattributed to Michelangelo due to their similarity to his known works.

The text also notes that the Fogg Museum was fortunate to have these drawings, which are now considered significant Michelangelo works. The drawings were displayed in a special exhibition, and the museum was open from 9 AM to 5 PM on weekdays, with a slight extension to 9 PM on Sunday, free of charge.

The clipping includes a photograph of one of the drawings, identified as "Profile of a Young Man's Head." The drawing depicts a detailed and expressive profile of a young man.
