THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART.
Care of the Collections.

The accessions for the year were received, cared for an installed as usual, and the permanent accessions were photographed. Numerous changes were made in the arrangement of the paintings and statuary largely due to the introduction of new gifts and loans.
