When: through September 16, 2016
There's a summer exhibit at the National Gallery's library, and it's on art show catalogs.
They span the centuries, from the late 1600s through the mid-twentieth century. As different French artistic societies organized exhibitions, these catalogs provided a record of what was shown, often including pictures of the works. Thus, they are important sources for art history and works of art unto themselves.
The display takes up two cases; all the catalogs on display are from the Gallery's collection.
Verdict: If you're interested in art history, this is worth a look.
