Opening the Covers of the Rare Book Collection  Neal Turtell,
executive librarian, National Gallery of Art. Most people think
that rare books are stashed away in the corners of museums,
untouched and collecting dust. At the National Gallery of Art,
not only are they given a special climate-controlled
environment, but they're often on public display. In this
podcast, executive librarian Neal Turtell talks to host Barbara
Tempchin about the Gallery's rare books collection, in
particular about those featured in the exhibition British
Picturesque Landscapes, on view in the Gallery's West Building
through February 24, 2008. Released: December 04, 2007
