 numbering about 2000 specimens; lacquers; prints; porcelains, both 

 Chinese and Japanese; paintings; textiles; armor; ivories; and metal

The Newark Museum Association is a corporation formed in 

 April, 1909, to establish a museum for the reception and exhibition 

 of articles of art, science, history, and technology, and for the encour- 

 agement of the study of the arts and sciences. 



The museum was opened to the public on February 24, 19 10. At 

 that time the Japanese collection and a loan collection of American 

 paintings and sculpture were shown by the museum. 



The control is vested in a board of trustees. There is at present 

 no fixed appropriation for maintenance. The income is from a system 

 of membership. 



The museum publishes a bulletin, "The Newark Museum," vol. 

 1 beginning February, 1910.
