Abstract

IT seems that those members of the Government, whichever they may be, who are responsible for buildings for science and art, have determined to erect new galleries for the Art Museum at South Kensington; practically to cover all the ground which is supposed to be applicable for art purposes there. These buildings are to cost some £400,000, and, when this money is spent, we suppose the South Kensington Art Museum will be finished. We suppose, also, that the building of a Science Museum will, by this action, be delayed for another twenty years. This will be a great victory for art, and will afford another interesting example of the results of the way in which matters scientific are managed in this country.
