Excerpt from Handbook of the Classical Collection Up to now our classical collections have been exhibited according to material, that is, all marble sculptures have been placed together, all bronzes, all terracottas, all vases, and so on. In Wing J, in which the objects are now shown, a different plan has been tried. In the Central Hall the larger marble sculptures of all periods are indeed exhibited together, but in the other galleries - nine in all - the objects are arranged according to periods. In each gallery are placed the bronzes, terracottas, vases, glass, gems, beads, and other pieces which belong to one and the same epoch, the only exception being the objects of gold and silver.
