AMNH Members will enjoy Once Upon a Fossil
Thursday, February 4th from 6:30 to 8:00 PM.
- How do you move a 20-ton fossil from one side of the room to the other? The Museum had to answer this and many other questions during the renovation of the fourth floor Fossil Halls. No longer would the fossils be displayed in chronological order, but according to their shared physiological characteristics, thus telling the story of vertebrate evolution. Join Paleontology Collection Manager Carl Mehling for this unique tour that reveals the stories of these large, heavy, and sometimes fragile specimens as they were reorganized and remounted.
This event is for AMNH members. Interested in becoming a member? Click here to learn about additional benefits - including jumping ahead of those enormous lines to the membership desk for admission.

Flemish Illumination in the Era of Catherine of Cleves at The Morgan
This exhibition of eighteen manuscripts illuminated in the area of Flanders in the southern Netherlands (today part of Belgium) celebrates the variety of styles from the last great flowering of Flemish illumination during the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. All Books of Hours, the manuscripts provide intriguing iconographic and stylistic points of comparison with miniatures from the Hours of Catherine of Cleves. The Morgan’s rich holdings of Flemish illumination comprise examples by the major illuminators of this prolific period encompassing the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance. Included will be works by Lieven van Lathem and Willem Vrelant, two artists who collaborated with and were influenced by the Master of Catherine of Cleves.

The manuscript’s two volumes have been disbound for the exhibition, which features nearly a hundred miniatures.
