Really interesting buildings and great surprise that Lou Kahn and Anne Tyng designed one of the additions. Wonderful wood cut prints, sculpture and furniture by a master. So much personality. And what topped it was the tour guide (Casey?) who is also the caretaker. Did an amazing job describing the history and the place, his passion for the work really showed - great job.
