Summer approximately 1933: The closing exhibition of the Children's Drawing, Painting, and Craft Clubs of the Brooklyn Museum will open this Saturday in the School Gallery of the Museum Library. These classes are run for the benefit of the children of the city by the Educational Department of the Museum assisted by student-teachers from. Pratt Institute.

Among the interesting projects that will be shown are stage sets; scenic designs; costume dolls; habitat groups executed by the Nature Study club; and an elaborate Eskimo group by the group who have worked in the Soap Sculpture class. The youthful workers in these classes are aged from 4 to 14 years.

The exhibition will remain on view through the 14th of June.

The Brooklyn Museum Archives maintains a collection of historical press releases. Many of these have been scanned and made available on our Web site. The releases range from brief announcements to extensive articles; images of the original releases have been included for your reference. Please note that all the original typographical elements, including occasional errors, have been retained. Releases may also contain errors as a result of the scanning process. We welcome your feedback about corrections.

For select exhibitions, we have made available some or all of the informative text panels written by the curator or organizer. Called "didactics," these panels are presented to the public during the exhibition's run, and we reproduce them here for your reference and archival interest. Please note that any illustrations on the original didactics have not been retained, and that the text may contain errors as a result of the scanning process. We welcome your feedback about corrections.
