stuny Posted August 1, 2007 Share #1 Posted August 1, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) On Saturday we returned to our favorite museum on six continents (we haven’t visited Antarctica yet, but surmise that museums there will not match NYC’s Metropolitan Museum of Art) and among other things saw a lovely, special exhibit of ivory and boxwood carvings from the 15th to 17th centuries. These are three examples, the largest of the three being the ivory hilt of a hunting sword. You can see more on the 8th page of New York photo galleries on our site, and you can see another image from that day in the “Travel & Landscape” section of the forum, with the title of “most Popular”.

stuny Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share #8 Posted August 2, 2007 Paul - Thank you. I encourage you to visit the exhibit, which runs until November 25th (The Metropolitan Museum of Art - Special Exhibitions: Current Exhibitions) assuming we can lure you out of the mountains and east a bit.
