View of the Seeing Nature galleries just after walls have been painted.
Manager of Exhibitions Liza Strelka snapped photos of the galleries where we’re preparing to install Seeing Nature: Landscape Masterworks from the Paul G. Allen Family Collection. She captured the brief moment between freshly painted walls and the arrival of the works for display.
