Lindsay Mayor of the City of New York Dear Mr. Mayor: I have the honor to transmit herewith the Sixty-second Annual Report of The Brooklyn Museum, a Department of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. The thousands of children and adults who visit the Museum each year continue to take pleasure in the growing richness of the collections and the many and diverse programs that complement them.

The Museum's contributions to the cultural viabihty of the City are fully detailed in this report. On behalf of the Trustees of the Institute and the Governors of the Museum, I should like to express our sincerest gratitude for the City's support and for the continued interest and guidance given by your Commissioners and their assistants.
