Where: National Gallery of Art Library, East Building
When: closed September 6, 2019
This library show is a tribute to fireworks and festivals throughout Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. Although all the books are in black and white, one feels as if one can see the vibrant pyrotechnics and feel the excitement as one looks at the display. I particularly enjoyed seeing John Bate's instructions for how to make a flying dragon.
Verdict: Hope you had a chance to see this small exhibit - more fun than the usual offering.
