ART FOR THE MASSES
SWITZERLAND’S MOVEABLE GALLERY. The Swiss Federal Council has hit upon a plan with a view of bringing within easy access of the people the art treasures of the nation. The council has set aside a sum of 30,000 francs for providing a building which can be erected in twenty-four hours and taken to pieces when desired, so as to be moved from one town to another. In this building, which will contain thirty toims, there will be exhibited pictures and objets d’art belonging to the nation, and also loans from private collections. In Belgium they have a boat picture gallery which visits the various towns.
