The workers from Goppion were hard at work installing the display cases in the Bloch Building before the holiday. On this day, they were skillfully placing the panes of glass on the framework of one of the larger cases in the African galleries. This one is about 18 feet long.
By the way, Goppion also did the case for the Mona Lisa in the Louvre, Paris. Oh la la!

Question - not directly Bloch related. What is going in the old African and American Indian galleries in the N-A building? I think that Amer. Ind. is going to the old Modern and Contemp. galleries. Along the same line, what will go into the old bookshop? The old Spencer Library reading room?
I ask because I am impatient for information. Every time I see another photo or article, I want to see even more. When I was there in October, it became apparent how much more room is available in the N-A (yay for the new sculpture hall and Europ. galleries). The possibilities for presentation are amazing. The curatorial staff must be like kids in a candy store.
Keep up the good work and thank your stars that I am not asking questions about the Bloch Building. You do not have enough time in the day. I will make myself wait until I visit that MAGNIFICENT addition.
