Peabody to Share Collections With 9 Other Museums

Major collections from the Peabody Museum will be shared with nine art, history, and general museums across the country through a $253,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).

In what is one of the largest collaborative projects ever undertaken with federal funding, $150,000 will go to the Peabody Museum to restore, organize, photograph, and ship archaeological materials to the other museums. The remaining $103,062 will be shared by seven of the museums borrowing from the Peabody, and will help cover the costs of exhibitions. Two other museums, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, are collaborating and will be responsible for their own expenses.

Currently participating in the collection-sharing project are: Museum of the American Indian in New York; the Milwaukee Public Museum; the Minnesota Historical Society; the Boston Children's Museum; the Chicago Historical Society; the Science Museum of Minnesota in St. Paul; the Texas Memorial Museum in Austin; the Oregon State Museum in Salem; and the New York State Historical Association in Cooperstown.

In planning now are exhibitions of materials from excavations at the ancient Mayan city of Copan in Honduras, to be shown at the Boston Museum of Science, watercolors and drawings by 19th- and early 20th-century American artists, to be shown in Phoenix, Rochester, and Fort Worth.

...are limited resources—rather than fresh air. Rather than hoarding them, the collections should be sent out as flags to represent the Peabody Museum.

"In the past, this has been done in a sense, but not in this way. The NEH is supporting the resource-sharing project particularly because artifacts can be shown in their cultural context, as objects made by people.

She said that each of the participating museums has chosen to borrow Peabody collections from a different geographical region to assure the broadest possible coverage. In addition, these museums will send their exhibits to other museums in what is hoped will be a continuous cycle, allowing them to be seen by a wide cross-section of the American public.

—Exhibits and interpretative programs involving 200 objects from the Walter W. and Grace E. Yager collection of African art at the Brooklyn Museum, and an exhibit illustrating the impact of the fur trade on the Plains Indians during the Pacific Northwest coast at the Oregon Historical Society.

Founded in 1866, the Peabody is one of the oldest and largest anthropological museums in the world, with a collection of over 2,000,000 artifacts and housing over 100,000 ethnological and 200,000 archaeological objects. According to Silverman, "This major project will not only make the Peabody's unrivaled collections more widely available, but will also help to defray some of the costs of maintaining them."

Under the NEH grant, the Peabody will not only send out its own collections, but will also be able to borrow from other museums to increase public access to the Museum's large and diverse collection.

The Peabody has been particularly concerned about the need to maintain the integrity of the collections, and to this end, the project will be carefully monitored by the Peabody staff.

"This is an experimental program," she said, "and we are learning as we go along. Some of the problems we have encountered have been in sending out material. Some of the objects are very fragile, and we are not sure that they will survive the handling. But we are confident that the program will be successful, and that the objects will be returned in good condition. The program will be evaluated as it progresses, and we will make whatever changes are necessary to ensure its success."

Fogg Museum to Utilize Courtyard for Sculptors

By JOHN RUSSELL

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — The Fogg Art Museum here, another great academic institution that has been going through hard times, has found a way to make use of its courtyard for the display of sculpture.

The idea was first raised by the late Joseph Duveen, the art dealer, who had hoped to present the museum with a collection of his own. The idea was not taken up at the time, but it has been revived now that the Fogg is being run as a very tight ship, where installation is the order of the day.

The first to be installed is "The Three Graces," a sculpture by Richard Long, who is represented in the Fogg's permanent collection. The work is a large, rough circle of red slate, about 10 feet in diameter, which is to be placed in the courtyard, where it will be seen from the windows of the Fogg.

The work is one of a series of similar pieces that Long has made in the past, and it is a good example of his concern for the landscape. The circle is not a precise one, and the stones are not all of the same size. The work is, in fact, a kind of map of the area in which it is to be placed.

Long is one of the most interesting of the younger British sculptors, and it is to be hoped that the Fogg will be able to show more of his work in the future.

The Fogg Art Museum is fortunate in having the use of the courtyard, which is a quiet place that is not too far from the center of the museum. The courtyard is also used for other purposes, but it is hoped that the sculpture will not be moved too often, as this could damage it.

The Fogg is a museum that has always been open to new ideas, and it is to be hoped that the use of the courtyard for sculpture will be a success. It is an idea that could be copied by other museums, and it is to be hoped that the Fogg will be able to set an example that will be followed elsewhere.
