Exhibitions: New Accessions

Date unknown, approximately 1937: On Friday, January 29th, the Brooklyn Museum will open an exhibition of new accessions to various departments. This is the largest showing of new accessions presented at the Museum for some time and necessitates the use of a special exhibition gallery instead of the usual new accessions room. Egyptian, classical, American Indian, primitive, and contemporary material is included. Among prints shown is a drawing by Degas presented to the Museum by the Rembrandt Club.

On Friday, February 5th, the Museum will open with a reception and preview in the evening for members and guests of the Museum an exhibition of Five Centuries of German Art (15th through 19th Century). This is the collection assembled abroad by the Carl Schurtz Foundation, which has published an elaborate catalogue of the collection. It has already been shown at Pennsylvania Museum of Art, Philadelphia the Cleveland Museum of Art; and the Chicago Art institute. After being shown in Brooklyn it will be sent to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; and the Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh. On account of the limited time available for installation the exhibition in Brooklyn cannot be available for press preview prior to February 5th. Catalogues are now available to the press and will be sent on request.
