What a lovely review! I just checked the NGA's website and it looks like the exhibit will still be there when I visit next month, so I know what at least one of my (non-Folger) afternoons looks like!

I'm going to view the exhibit the day before the Spoutwood Faerie Festival, between signing at Politics & Prose in the AM and speaking at the Takoma Park Library that evening. Whew. Still, I'm looking SO forward to this and have been for months!

Go! Go! Go! I got thrown out of the Burne-Jones exhibit when the museum closed, and couldn't go back next day owing to not living in New York yet. I think I'll regret that forever. This one isn't as big, but it is cherce.
