Stunning pic! Just beautiful. Thanks for posting Rebecca. When I went to see the Tiffany exhibit in NY at the Met they didn't allow photography of his work. Darn the bad luck...But I was definitely enjoying every minute being surrounded by all of that beauty.

When Lou Ann and I went to the Tiffany lamp exhibit in Nashville, they didn't allow pictures, either. But at Corning it was okay to take pictures, just don't get so close that the guards think you are going to touch anything! Or, I guess they thought my camera was going to touch it. But I think the bird picture was at the Metropolitan Museum. The guards there didn't seem to like me, either!

LOL, don't feel too badly Rebecca, they didn't like me either...all it took was snapping one very poor quality photo of an interesting Tiffany piece for them to all run up to me and admonish me that photography was NOT allowed. I felt like I'd had my hands slapped...I hadn't seen any signs??? Really...
So I'm glad that someone got a nice pic..I was dying to.

Most museums don't allow picture taking because the extra light harms most of the other items (not the glass work but the do not care). They usually offer a catalog with photos of the items in the gift stores. The Met has many of the Tiffany pieces on loan from the Morse Museum (Winter Park, FL) and they never allow any photos of any kind. |

We were allowed to take pictures in most of the Metropolitan - even the paintings which I would think would be the most susceptable to damage. The only ones we weren't allowed to take pictures of were loaned from other places, not permanent exhibits. And there were no signs, we were just stopped when we started to aim the camera. The Tiffany's from Winter Park were no longer there, or if they were they weren't identified as such and we were allowed to take pictures.

I think the Met still has the huge daffodil terrace on display. The Morse Museum is adding another wing on to accommodate that thing and more items in storage. |

We didn't see any Tiffany daffodils at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Besides the birds, we saw dogwoods and iris with Japanese magnolia -

... but we saw no daffodils. And all of the Tiffanys were in areas where we could take pictures.

The lamps and the vases were doubly hard to take pictures of because they were behind glass and I have a cheap camera. The lamps were not as well lit as the special exhibit Lou Ann and I saw, but we weren't allowed to take pictures there. But I bought the book!
