INADEQUATE HEATING
HURTS TURIN EXHIBITS

PARIS (N.A.NA.). The Egyptian
Museum in Turin Is the third In irnpor-
tance in the world, Cairo coming first,
and the Egyptian section OF. the British
Museum second.
The Turin Museum building is an
old palace and it is difficult to keep
the place adequately heated during the
Winter months. The exhibits, alas, do
not thrive in the cold and they have
been giving the authorities very painful
ocular evidence that the low tempera-
ture does not suit their Egyptian nature
at all. So imminent is the danger
OF their irreparable ruin that experts
have been called in to advise on the
measures that must be taken for their
preservation.
