NATIONAL GALLERY.
The National Gallery of Canada has lately been removed to the Victoria Memorial Museum at the south end of Metcalfe street. Three large galleries and six small ones in the east wing have been assigned to its use. The top floor, consisting of one large gallery and six small ones, has been reserved for pictures, etchings, drawings and small bronzes, while the two lower floors are devoted to the exhibition of a representative collection of casts of ancient and mediaeval sculpture. Many fine and valuable pictures have lately been added to the collection. The formal opening by the Governor General is intended to take place in the autumn of 1911.
