(Jewish Daily Bulletin)
A medal struck to commemorate the Newark Museum building and its donor, Louis Bamberger, prominent Jewish merchant of this city, has been completed and will be available for purchase by members and friends of the museum.
The medal is made in bronze and silver and is two by two and three-quarter inches in size. On one side there is a picture of Mr. Bamberger, modeled after the portrait of the donor on a tablet to the left of the museum entrance. On the reverse side is the facade in relief of the museum building with the following inscription over it: “Building Given to the Museum of Newark, New Jersey by Louis Bamberger” and inscribed below it are the Roman numerals 1925. The medal was designed and executed by John Flanagan.
The Newark Museum building was formally dedicated last March. The cornerstone of the three-story structure was laid in May 1925.
