Palladian Exhibit in NYC

Not to be missed! Think "Jet Blue" (from Texas) and make plans for the upcoming Palladian exhibit at New York's Pierpont Morgan Library and Museum, April 2-July 31. On display will be a selection of 31 drawings by Andrea Palladio---from a collection at the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) in London. The exhibit will chronicle how Palladio's publications influenced 18th C. American architecture, especially once English editions became available. The exhibit will also include models as a part of its interpretation.
