CLEVELAND MUSEUM OF ART. 



A number of bequests amounting to about $2,000,000 have been 

 made for the establishment of art galleries in Cleveland. These be- 

 quests are under the care of independent trustees and are, for various 

 reasons, not yet fully available for the establishment of a museum. 

 It is expected, however, that an effective organization will soon be 

 achieved and that a building will be erected at a cost of about $i ,000,000. 

 A small collection of paintings and objects of art now stored at the 

 Cleveland School of Art is available as a nucleus of the museum. It is 

 probable that a school of fine arts will ultimately be maintained in 

 connection with the museum. The secretary and treasurer is Hermon 

 A. Kelley, 702 Western Reserve Building.
