A Century of Art at the New York Public Library

This was the last weekend of the exhibition from the print & drawing collection up on the 3rd floor – fabulous.  However, there is still time for you to see the  NYPL’s exhibition showcasing 100 Years, in the main lobby gallery.

The highlight for me of the 250 objects were the Cunieforms 5,000 years old – amazing condition and unusual shapes and sizes, that you do not often see on display!

There was a handwritten page of Thomas Jefferson’s highlighting the word “MEN” in “all MEN are created equal,” artist’s books, and Thomas Edison’s phonograph among the many objects.

Don’t miss it (through March 4) if you’re in NYC!
