SOUTH KENSINGTON MUSEUM.—The annual re-
port of the administration of this central repository
examples of science and art states that the general caw-
tion of the pictures and drawings is most satisfactorP
Mr. Redgrave, the Inspector-General of Art, is able to re-
port that the national collection of water-colour pairdills,
/1
gradually increases in importance. Several purchases ""
been made in the past year, and the collection has been ell:
riched by the gifts of water-colour paintings from the Bei::
T. Raven, Mr. R. Sasso, jun., and the Rev. J. Sheepsha%.
A further development of the system of loans has ta.,l°-
place in this class of art through the liberality of i'
Waiter, M.P., who has sent a collection of 57 pictures b!
the old masters, principally of the Dutch school. ir,4l
have been exhibited together in one of the rooms contigile"-
to the Sheepshanks Gallery. But in the new galleries tb.o
whole water-colour collection will be arranged chronolor
tally ; it will form a most interesting and instructive he
torical series. A number of valuable additions have be„hli
made to the arts collections. The principal purchases el ""r:
year have been a Spanish "retable," or alter-piece, a 11,°-,f
of great size and importance, of the date of the first /v'
the 15th century, originally in a church at Valencia, .°
destroyed ; a casket in coloured enamel, the work of J"'"
Limousin ; a missal-case in gold, ornamented with traili,°i
lucid enamel, said to have been formerly the property "of
Henrietta Maria, consort of Charles I. ; a candlestiec Of
Henry 11. ware ; the Syon cope, a remarkable examPle ts
early English needlework; and a collection of oplec
illustrative of Spanish work in the 15th and 16th 00010.
c'
Among the gifts of the year should be mentioned a CO
of ,articles, such as watches, needlework, wearing,;:4l
parel, &c., illustrative of the manners and tastes of the
and 18th centuries, presented by the Rev. R. fir°°,,l 0
The regular collection of objects on loan continues
to be well supported. Many valuable and interesting °,,el
jects have been contributed by Mr. Gladstone, M.
others. Considerable progress has been made in the
00
rangement for the systematic interchange of reprodnoti%,
of works of art with foreign Governments. An underttu
in g has been come to with the trustees of the 13“.:0-00
Museum in relation to the purchase of works of art; t"tio
which belong to classical epochs are to be considered ased
especial province of the British Museum. The neeetore
works which have been going on at South Kensingten';o-
caused some inconvenience to visitors, but this is the
avoidable while the new buildings are in progress ;gill
present rate of proceeding about eight more years
required to carry out the plan of buildings which W sub'
witted to the select committee in 1860. Attention is ce'iDa
to the approaching loan exhibition of miniatures, aucivi,-
exhibition (likely to be annual) of stained glass and
lish mosaics. The visitors to the Art Library bace:-
cl
creased in number. All the collections have been inirt°,,os
in the course of the year. The responsibility for the ligt 34
and custody of the museum at night increases vrit'Anig;
growth ; the organisation and arrangements for preveol,lo-,
accidents and remedying them are as complete as liestoo
The cost for the consumption of gas for the musellul n-°io
is a shilling a minute. The attendance of the Pu,/ic 005;
Easter week (1864) was 27,518 ; Whitsun-week, IhiS
Christmas week, 35,984 ; the whole year, 653,0694 plt
number much exceeded that of any previous year, o'e-b.
that of 1862, the Exhibition year, and 1863, when the at,
ding presents of the Princess of Wales were shown, e/3-0 of
tracted 229,425 persons in 17 days. The inner cite rflo
metropolitan railways will have a station within 200 Yeerd
of the museum, to which there will probably be a Wir
passage of communication.
