Catalog of the inaugural exhibition, June 6-September 20, 1916
This is a 1916 exhibition catalogue published by the Cleveland Museum of Arts for its inaugural show, held June 6 to September 20, 1916, and aimed at visitors to the new museum. The four photographs are rotated gallery views of the rooms, with captions naming the Egyptian and Asiatic galleries, the Hall of Egyptian Antiquities, and Gallery VII of European paintings. For a designer, they offer a sober early-twentieth-century museum interior of hung paintings, glass cases, and stone sculpture under plain daylight.
