Filed under New York City | Comment (0)Mark Twain at The Morgan
Samuel Langhorne Clemens—better known by his pen name, Mark Twain—was the quintessential American author, humorist, lecturer, essayist, and master of satire. Twain enjoyed immense public popularity during his lifetime and became a friend to presidents, artists, industrialists, and royalty.
The exhibition features extensive portions of autograph manuscripts of two key non-fiction works. In Life on the Mississippi (1883), Twain examines the history of the river and the impact of technological progress and urban development on river life and paints sharply contrasting portraits of urban life in the North and South. Twain casts his critical attention more widely in the extensive account of his world travels published in Following the Equator (1897), employing savage sarcasm to express his outrage at the crimes that the Western colonial powers perpetrated on the native populations of Africa, Asia, and Australasia.
The Morgan Library and Museum is located at 225 Madison Avenue at 36th Street, New York, NY 10016, (212) 685-0008
Mark Twain: a Skeptic’s progress runs through January 2, 2011.
Vox Populi at The Guggenheim
The 1920s and 1930s were among the greatest years in the history of poster design. Vox Populi, or the “voice of the people,” posters were used by manufacturers, political movements, and the entertainment industry as immensely refined art created for a vast public. The exhibition, on view in the Sackler Center for Arts Education, presents a group of splendid interwar posters from France, Italy, and Germany.
The Guggenheim is located at 1071 Fifth Avenue, at 89th Street.
The Guggenheim is open Mondays from 10AM to 5:45 PM.

The healing powers of salt – A Free event
Salt is as old as the planet and an incredible source of good health. Think what a day at the beach can do for you just breathing in the salt air. Isabella Samovsky, founder of Solay, will explain how to incorporate salt for better breathing, healing and in our diet and how Himalayan sea salt is a must for better health.
The planet is not as safe place anymore, and we need to use the natural resources we do have to learn how to obtain the best conditions for the air we breathe and the environment we can create around us.
