The prospects for a splendid new Germanic Museum are very bright. Professor Bestelmeyer of Dresden, assisted by Professor H. L. Warren of Harvard, will have charge of the construction of the building. The Museum will stand on the oblong space between Kirkland street, Frisbie place, and Divinity avenue, opposite Randall Hall. It will consist of two wings, placed at right angles to each other, with a large tower at the juncture. Between the wings will be a court, for which shrubbery, statuary, arcades, and water-basins have been planned. One of the most prominent of the statues which will decorate this space, is a huge bronze lion, the gift of His Highness, Johann Albrecht, the Prince-Regent of Brunswick. This monument stood formerly in front of Brunswick Castle, where it was placed in 1166 by Duke Henry, the Lion of Saxony, as a symbol of his territorial sovereignty.
