I've been interested in Tiffany lamps so I've been checking out a few books on his work. I notice one about a Tiffany exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Is that exhibit permanent or has it moved on to somewhere else? If permanent, has anyone seen it? If yes, is it cool? I've been thinking about checking it out over the holidays. I notice there is at least one store in the area that has several original Tiffany lamps for sell.
Thanks, Michael
Get your Google going before you go and you will find many galleries that have Original Tiffany's on display/for sale in NYC.
Just note the difference between original Louis Comfort Tiffany and such others as Dale Tiffany (made in China). m
There was a Tiffany exhibit at the Met call "Laurelton Hall", but I think it's over. They always have some Tiffany, LaFarge and other stained glass on pediment display.
The New York Historical Society has an ongoing Tiffany exhibit about the women who worked for Tiffany. They also have a large Tiffany lamp collection.

That's my territory, surprised you didn't ask me Michael. The Met always had permanent Tiffany on display. Afterall, Brooklyn NY is where he made many of them. Dozens of original Tiffany scattered all over the place in the Churches of Brooklyn. The place to see the lamps are the big galleries, like Lillian Nassau. If she's still alive and kicking, there's always dozens there. Another secret gem is the Brooklyn Museum. Lots of Tiffany windows & lamps.
Thanks to everybody that posted on the Tiffany exhibit at the Met and galleries. I'd love to go up there and see all the lamps.
