BRITISH MUSEUM
EXTENSION OPENED
King George Dedicates New
Wing, Built at Cost
100000.

London, May king George and Queen
Mary opened to-day new wing OF the
British Museum. which has just been
completed at a cost OF $4,000. II is The
first part Of a large scheme of extension.
In 1895 the government bought a consid-
cradle portion OF the Duke OF Bedford
property around the museum for N,25o.oU,
and a large area was cleared. The legacy
Of $4,000 be1ueathed by Vincent Stuckey
Lean for the enlargement Of the Museum
gave impetus TO the present extension.
That bequest was intended particularly
for the extension of the reading room
and library. to which the testator was a
frequent visitor.
The new building Is In architectural
harmony with the old Museum. Its IA
cade which Is fanked by two massive
towers, is Of Portland stone. the outer
walls and pedestals OF the forecourt beins
OF Scotch granite. The main entrance is
surmounted by balcony, the parapet Oh
which is formed by the stone laid In June,
1907, by the late King Edward. The door
way itself is formed OF marble surround
ed with granite, and is closed by bronze
door, the upper panels OF when are
sculptured in relief.
The architectural composition or the
building is severely simple. In the Interior
extension of everything irrelevant TO the
main purpose, the primary idea being 10
make It a mere background for the exni-
billion of the nations treasures.
An important feature OF the new WING
the link he
tween the old building and the new one
This is extremely simple In design us
walls are covered with marble which has
been selected moro for It's texture as a
background for antique sculptures tnan
for its vein!ng
The building comprises basement, as
well as ub-ground, ground, mezzanlne
and top floors The top floor Will accom-
modate the print department In the base
ment will be stored books or newspapers
The eastern half OF the sub-ground fiooi
will be utilized as a copyright ONCE anc
for book storage. while the western bal
will be in part a public newspaper room
The mezzanine floor will be largely
given up to staff rooms, and 1t contains
space for the future accommodation o.
music and maps. while the Stein collec
ton of Eastern paintings is being tenn
porarily housed there.
