Building Museum Presents: Cityscapes Revealed : Highlights from the Collection
The National Building Museum presents a first-time survey of its holdings in the long-term exhibition Cityscapes Revealed: Highlights from the Collection.
Cityscapes Revealed explores America's architectural heritage through original building fragments; rare, early-20th-century photographs; intricate architectural drawings; and more.
The exhibition reflects the Museum's rich permanent collection relating to quintessentially American, 20th-century- building typologies, from Beaux-Arts-style residences to main street storefronts and sleek downtown skyscrapers.
The exhibition, presented in honor of the Museum's 25th anniversary, is on view in first-floor galleries.The Art Gallery of the Museum of New Mexico, a modern structure faithful in style to the old Spanish-pueb architecture, displays a fine permanent collectii of Southwestern art and presents a special e: hibition during the fiesta each year. Anothi building of the Museum of New Mexico is tl old Palace of the Governors, which houses tl School of American Research (a nonprofit coi poration devoted to the study of man on tl American continents), and the Historical Societ of New Mexico, and it exhibits a wealth c archaeological and historical materials of th Southwest.
The Heinz Architectural Center's first exhibition to focus on a single vernacular building type, Barns of Western Pennsylvania: Vernacular to Spectacular presents a wide variety of objects to reveal the complexity of a deceptively straightforward building form. |
