 (Oh wow, type not red now! But type size changed. Sorry.)

Mainly small vitrines with the work displayed.

The work was from The Archives of American Art, which I'd never heard of before.

It was curated by a Prof. at the Universtiy of Kentucky (USA)

and more. I wish I'd taken more photos. 

We were very happy to be able to see this small but impressive exhibit.
