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.
