New Cast in the Germanic Museum

The plaster cast of the pulpit in the Church of Wechselburg, Saxony, presented to the Germanic Museum by Friedrich August II, King of Saxony, has just been put in place in the museum. The cast is a massive structure about twelve feet in height and made in the Romanesque style of the early eighteenth century architecture. Being placed in the right wing of the museum the light from the skylight on this piece is excellent.

Two other large casts have been bought by the museum, one of which is the cast of the crucifixion from the same church in Wechselburg. The piece, which is about 15 feet high, will be put at the entrance of one of the south alcoves. The other piece is a cast of the portal of the Cathedral of Augsburg in Germany, and will be built into the wall of the museum at the right of the main entrance.
