With the completion of the new wing of the Metropolitan museum, and with the addition of more than one-third of the available space, the attractivenesg of the museum, which has been steadily growing since the dim old days when it's habitat was dwelling In Fourteenth street, Is quite doubled at a single stroke.

Upon the ground floor, devoted as the new part aof 1t sis mainly to sculptural casts, for the most part on a large scale, the diflculty Of a proper exposition comes mainly from the fact that the side lights Of the openings are all that can be had.
