REPORT OF THE SECRETARY. 55 



the Museum of Arts and Industries. In 1910 they were transferred 

 to the central sky-lighted hall of the recently erected Museum of 

 Natural History. This hall was appropriately subdivided by par- 

 titions for the purpose. The space thus made available is, however, 

 entirely inadequate to the actual needs of the gallery, and until an 

 additional building is provided expansion must be at the further 

 expense of the already seriously embarrassed natural history and 

 associated departments. 



The art collections are open to the public on every week day during 

 the year, holidays included, from 9 o'clock a. m. to 4.30 o'clock p. m., 

 ami on Sundays from 1.30 to 4.30 p. m. 



Respectfully submitted. 



W. H. Holmes, 



Director, National Gallery of Art. 



Dr. Charles D. Walcott, 



Secretary, Smithsonian Institution.
