EDITORIAL
The reproduction on the cover shows the view from the City Gallery, through the Mackelvie Gallery to the Sculpture Court. The curtains, which can be drawn across the glass partition in the foreground were handwoven by Mrs Use Von Randow and have been much admired by visitors.

IMPORT LICENCES
As we reported in our last issue, the Art Galleries and Museums Association discussed the setting up of a pool scheme. At a recent council meeting of the Association, having the full agreement of the Minister of Customs, a subcommittee was set up to administer the licence pool. With most of the institutional members agreeable, the difficulties facing the import of exhibitions and acquisitions will now largely be diminished.

PUBLICITY
It is interesting to note that an article on the Gallery's collection, with twelve reproductions, appeared in the March issue of The Connoisseur. The article is displayed in the Entrance Gallery. We must thank the Editor of The Connoisseur for his invitation to publish this article.

EXHIBITIONS
The Old Masters' exhibition is now past and we are pleased to record that over 8,000 visitors saw it and 2,000 of them bought catalogues. We still have some spare copies of this catalogue.
