Abstract
THE annual report of the National Museum of Victoria for 1947-48 states that representations made to the government have resulted in the acquisition of a swexin the King's Domain for a new museum building. It is intended to house the natural history and ethnology in this new accommodation. The present Museum is so restricted both as regards the exhibition galleries and storage space that the prospect of a new building is especially welcome to museum staff and public alike. The director (Mr. R. T. M. Pescott) was granted seven months leave of absence to study design of museum buildings in Europe and the United States.
