ReplyDeleteThanks so much for posting this! My family and some friends are in New York on a trip right now so we are going to give the exibition a visit :)
ReplyDeleteI went a few days ago. It was every bit as wonderful as I'd hoped it'd be. I wish the Morgan allowed picture-taking, because I wanted to photograph everything in that room!
