Item Description
Created by an act of Congress in 1980, the National Building Museum is America's premier cultural institution dedicated to exploring and celebrating architecture, design, engineering, construction, and urban planning.The Museum occupies one of Washington's most spectacular structures, designed in 1881 by civil engineer and U.S. Army General Montgomery C. Meigs and completed in 1887. The building, which originally housed the Pension Bureau and was later occupied by many government agencies, is widely recognized as a marvel of engineering.
>>> The "Executive Director's Package" offers lunch for two with the Museum's Executive Director, Chase W. Rynd, as well as a curator-led tour of the "Prairie Skyscraper: Frank Lloyd Wright's Price Tower" exhibition on view from June 17-September 17, 2006, and a complimentary exhibition catalog; this package also includes one (1) Family/Dual level membership (to include all applicable benefits for the period of one year).
Prairie Skyscraper: Frank Lloyd Wright's Price Tower, organized by the Price Tower Arts Center with assistance from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Henry Luce Foundation, will examine the evolution of Frank Lloyd Wright's concept of the modern office building from the Larkin Building and Johnson Wax Administration Building and Research Tower to the Price Tower itself--which won AIA's 25-Year Award for its enduring architectural design and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. On view will be approximately 108 drawings, models, photographs, documents, building components and furnishings (including desks, chairs, tables and textiles that were designed for the Price Tower by Frank Lloyd Wright in keeping with his conception of the building as an integrated work of art).
