Opening May 30: Richard Morris: Hunt In A New Light. Richard Morris Hunt, the premier architect of the Gilded Age, is known for imposing works such as Marble House and The Breakers in Newport, R.I., yet this exhibition will take a more intimate look at his life, creativity and ideas. For the first time, the exhibition will bring together Hunt’s personal sketchbooks, scrapbooks, architectural and interior drawings and family objects, drawn from the Library of Congress, Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, Vermont Historical Society, Bennington Museum (VT), the Preservation Society’s collections and more.
