S/ Abtleilung III Prague, 31 March 1944. III e 122-7/1944 An "-Obergruppenführer Staatsminister Fr a n k H a u s Subject: Graphic Collection in the Rudolfinum Reference.: My presentation from 9 February the year before The Graphic Collection of the Bohemian Moravian State Gallery in P r a g started its work on 8 March the year after. As the first in the series of planned internal exhibitions from the holdings of the collection, a small show of German hand drawings of Romanticism is shown, which enjoys a relatively lively visit. The internal structure of the Graphische Sammlung makes good progress. Due to its holdings it is one of the richest and most valuable collections of the Great German Empire. Of course, during the war originals can only be made very limited accessible to the users. The external equipment of the Graphische Sammlung is currently quite temporary. Therefore, I can only recommend a visit to the collection by the Minister of State if the respective theme of the exhibition is of interest. During the course of the year, such exhibitions are planned further: drawings and graphics of the artists at the court Rudolf II in Prague, graphics 2pcs.M-1r-0-23/44 St.M.V0-23c/44
