Make Big Plans: Curators' Talk and Gallery Walk for Daniel Burnham in the Philippines

The co-curators of Make Big Plans: Daniel Burnham's Vision of an American Metropolis, James R. Akerman and Diane Dillon, discuss the pleasures and challenges of placing Burnham and Bennett's Plan of Chicago in historical perspective, and of capturing both the document's textual and visual meanings. Following the talk, join Newberry Library staff in the Donnelley Gallery for a gallery walk of the Library's Spotlight Exhibition, Daniel Burnham in the Philippines.

 "Make Big Plans" is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the William G. McGowan Charitable Fund, Deloitte LLP, and Marsh & McLennan Companies.
