Last Friday I met two of my girlfriends from school and we visited the Cooper Hewitt museum for Design Week ie: free admission. (Plus they're open late on Friday nights.)
Anyway there was an interesting exhibit on Piranesi. I must admit that I didn't know anything about him or his work. But hiss etchings and drawings were amazing. What a great architect and designer. The details on his sketching was ridiculous! One of the pieces was a marble chimney piece from 1769. Seriously amazing.
I am so lucky to live in New York to see all of these amazing museums with cool artifacts and being able to enjoy these different parts of history!
