asked when and where the Arthur Morrison collection of Japanese and Chinese paintings will be housed in connection with the British Museum, and whether there will in future be a separate department for Oriental paintings and prints?

I understand that the Morrison Collection will be transferred to the British Museum in the course of next month, and will be housed provisionally in the existing department of prints and drawings pending the transfer of that Department to the new wing. A sub-department of Oriental prints and drawings has recently been created.
