21st-century Skylight Preserves 19th-century Art Gallery

摘要

Built in 1871, the Athenaeum in St. Johnsbury, Vt., is the oldest art gallery in the country that still maintains its original design. One dis tinctive element of this elegant facility is its Victorian skylights, which flood the gallery's interiors with natural light and enhance the viewing experience of well-known masterpieces such as Albert Bierstadt's "Domes of Yosemite."
