Dr. E.H. Zimmermann, Director of the Nuremberg Germanic Museum, and Mrs. Zimmermann, were the guests yesterday of Professor Adolph Goldschmidt, visiting lecturer on Fine Arts and the History of German Culture. Dr. Zimmermann is visiting leading American museums for the first time, and is also visiting many private art collections in this country.

Dr. Zimmermann studied under Professor Goldschmidt in Halle-Wittenberg University, Germany, and by reason of his connection with the Germanic Museum in Nuremberg, which contains the originals of many works of art duplicated at the University, was keenly interested in the Germanic Museum. The New Fogg Museum was described by Dr. Zimmermann as the finest new museum building he has seen. Dr. Zimmermann pointed out that the Nuremberg Goose-Man, a cast of which stands in the foremost of the Germanic Museum here, is not available for any museum, as it is kept in a public square of Nuremberg. But the wood study, from which the original statue was developed, is in the Nuremberg Germanic Museum, and is placed just inside the main entrance of this building.

Another reproduction which attracted Dr. Zimmermann's attention was the cast of the Nuremberg Madonna, the original wooden statue of which, made in the work-shop of Peter Vischer, is conceded to be the finest early German sculpture, and is in the Nuremberg Germanic Museum.

Dr. Zimmermann recalled that the Germanic Museum here was designed by the same architect, Dr., German Bestelmeyer, who has built new wings at the Nuremberg Germanic Museum, which he described as a medieval church made over into a museum. Originally a church of Carthusian friars in the late fourteenth century, the museum has been enlarged until it comprises five large buildings, and has roughly 200 rooms, Dr. Zimmermann explained.

The New Fogg Museum was praised by Dr. Zimmermann for its arrangement, and especially for its facilities for study. He commended the small display rooms, as opposed to great galleries.
