This particular exhibition will be traveling to Richmond in 2012.

Other exhibitions scheduled in New York next spring & summer:  The Morgan Library & Museum (www.themorgan.org) will have exhibitions of the Hours of Catherine of Cleves, and other Flemish illuminations from the lifetime of Catherine of Cleves, and also an exhibition of Roman drawings from the Renaissance from January to May; and then an exhibition of drawings by Albrecht Durer from June through September.

And speaking of interesting exhibitions scheduled for next year in the state of New York, the Corning Museum of Glass (www.cmog.org) has "Medieval Glass for Popes, Princes, and Peasants" starting in May.
