Luce Center Tiffany LampsA must-see if you visit New York City. This new installation was years in the making and spares no expense in displaying this remarkable collection to best effect. From the NYHS site:

Designed by prizewinning architect Eva Jiřičná, the new Tiffany Gallery is a stunning, immersive display space for New-York Historical’s exceptional Tiffany collection. The accompanying story of lamp making at Tiffany Studios focuses on the important contributions made by head designer Clara Driscoll (1861-1944) and the uncredited “Tiffany Girls” who worked in her Women's Glass Cutting Department. The gallery thus provides a bridge between New-York Historical's permanent collection and the new Center for Women's History.

I have included highlights of a good many of the 100 lamps on display here, yet they don't cover all of the collection, including many of the geometrics which I certainly should have taken time to capture. A good reason to go back.
