The Tiffany Exhibit at Carnegie Was Fabulous

Last Saturday (Jan 13th) my husband treated me to a day in Pittsburgh to visit the Tiffany Gallery that ran through last Monday at the Carnegie Museum of Art. I was so impressed with the color. The depth of color of the glass just takes your breath away. Printed pictures just can not capture it. There were paintings by Louis Comfort Tiffany, too. I didn't know he was such a good painter. The jewelry, glass and metal work was so beautiful. He definetly had good taste and demanded quality. There was a large floor lamp that looked like an outdoor light post with the most beautiful metal and glass work on it. You should really go and see his work if the exhibit comes to a museum near you.

At Carnegie they still have some of the Tiffany desk sets there until April 29th. Also in the museum was Rembrandt's etchings through Feb 11th. You can see the schedule at the above link. What a great day trip it is.

You could take pictures in the other parts of the museum if you didn't use it for the internet or to be published, but they didn't let you take pictures in the gallery where the Tiffany exhibit was. I'm glad I asked before I whipped my camera out. There was security everywhere. It would have ruined my day to be strong-armed out of there.
