What the Industrial Hall at Carlsruhe, the Industrial Art Museum at
Berlin, and the National Museum at Munich are to the art schools proper,
the open drawing halls are to the industrial drawing courses. Here, as
in the museums, are kept models and designs of rare merit and students
may pursue work under competent instruction. Such halls are established
in Bavaria, Hesse, Prussia, Saxony and Wurttemberg.
In these art courses skill and originality are aimed at equally. The
relation existing between the art work and the trade or industry with
which it is connected is such as to make more valuable the latter.
It is needless to speak further of the museums. The art products there
exhibited give much incentive to students, as well as a feeling for the
best from the standpoint of the beautiful and artistic, and all who
visit them are consciously or unconsciously influenced for the better.
