MUSEUM LECTURES 
One of the most important educational activities of the National 
Museum is the series of illustrated lectures given in the lecture hall of the 
Museum. The lectures are arranged by a committee whose report follows. 
Seventeen illustrated lectures were given under the auspices of the 
National Museum in the winter of 1932-33, and if attendance is any 
criterion of the value and interest of the lectures these two series were 
the most successful since this educational feature was inaugurated by 
the Museum. The first series commenced on November 5 and ended 
December 14; the second series extended from January 7 to March 22.
