As we are rapidly approaching the opening of the Bloch Building on June 9, we have been looking back at images of the construction process. In this image, we see the workers installing the glass doors by the new Museum Cafe in the main lens of the Bloch Building.

It reminds me of the very famous photograph by Joe Rosenthal Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima, February 23, 1945 that is part of the Museum's photography collection. The real photograph will be on view in the new photography galleries in the Bloch Building.
