Summary

The underground passageway between the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery officially opens. Milo Beach, director of the Freer and Sackler Galleries, leads staff members through the new space. The passageway, which will permit the transportation of art between the galleries, is part of an extensive renovation of the Freer Gallery of Art and a reorganization of departments between the two sister institutions.
