Did you see that the modern illuminated Saint John's Bible is on exhibition at the Walters Art Museum?

I'm going to see it the second weekend of May AND take an illumination workshop at the musuem.  :-)

Thanks for the link, Rafaella!  Hope work gets more sane soon.

But I did get to go see a fantastic exhibition of illuminated music
manuscripts at the Philadelphia Free Library (they apparently have a huge
collection in their rare books section).  It's on through mid-june, but it's
only open 9am-5pm weekdays during their regular hours. But you can put your
nose right up the glass and spend as much time as you want studying them. If
I hadn't run out of quarters for the meter, I probably would have spent more
than 2 hours drooling over them ;)
