The New National Gallery, Berlin, Kimbell Art Museum and Museum fur Kunsthandwerk in Frankfurt are striking examples of modern museum design, built in three different decades. The Berlin Gallery was Mies van der Rohe’s last great building – a ‘temple’ to art in glass and steel. Louis Kahn’s Kimbell Art Museum is a building of severity and restraint, its architectural effects arising from rhythmical spaces and a refined treatment of materials. Richard Meier’s Museum fur Kunsthandwerk is a subtle and intricate building of shifted grids and superimposed planes – an interesting precursor to his Getty Center. By presenting these works together, one can examine the similarities and differences in approach taken by three renowned...

"Twenty Years After", the sequel to "The Three Musketeers", is a supreme creation of suspense and heroic adventure. Two decades have passed since the musketeers triumphed over Cardinal Richelieu and Milady. Time has weakened their resolve, and dispersed their loyalties. But treasons and strategems still cry out for justice: civil war endangers the throne of France, while in England Cromwell threatens to send Charles I to the scaffold. Dumas brings his immortal quartet out of retirement to cross swords with time, the malevolence of men, and the forces of history. But their greatest test is a titanic struggle with the son of Milady, who wears the face of Evil.
