LIGHT UP THE NIGHT

Artifacts on display include bulbs from the infamous Rockefeller Tree and a giant neon “i” that once stood guard over Columbus Circle. The exhibit also includes state-of-the-art lighting created by ten contemporary design firms.

When: Through May 7, 2006; Tues.-Sun. 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
