Built in 1913-1916, the Cleveland Museum of Art’s oldest section is a Classical Revival-style building designed by Hubbell and Benes, which was placed on a knoll overlooking Wade Lagoon in Wade Park. The original building is clad in white Georgia marble with a hipped roof, a portico at the front entrance below a front gable with acroterions, with fluted ionic columns and decorative door surrounds, cornices with dentils, and engaged ionic columns at the end bays and at the central bays of the side facades, doric columns on the rear facade, and windows on the exterior of the building’s raised basement. The interior features vaulted ceilings, corinthian and ionic columns, arched bays, brass wall sconces, stone wall panels, and stone floors. In 1958, the museum was doubled in size with a modernist addition on the north side of the building, designed by Hayes and Ruth. In 1971, the building was expanded further north with a new Modern Brutalist wing designed by Marcel Breuer, which features cladding with lighter and darker horizontal bands, box-like massings, concrete waffle slab ceilings, concrete built-in furniture and railings, concrete walls, a concrete canopy at the entrance, and a low-slope roof. In 1983, a wing to the west of the 1958 wing was added, creating an enclosed courtyard behind the original museum building, which was designed by Dalton, van Dijk, Johnson, and Partners, and housed gallery space and a library. In 2001-2014, the museum was heavily renovated and expanded under the direction of Rafael Viñoly, demolishing the 1983 and 1958 wings, renovating the 1971 wing, and restoring the 1913 wing, and restoring symmetry to the layout of the museum. The new north wing features a large atrium between the 1913 and 1971 buildings, topped with a curved glass roof with shade ribs and enclosed by a glass curtain wall, exterior cladding with horizontal bands of lighter and darker cladding and geometric massing, visually linking the two remaining historic wings, and adding additional gallery space, a new library, museum store, and adding new amenities to the museum. The museum is a contributing structure in the Wade Park District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Today, the museum has one of the largest endowments of any art museum in the United States, and has a very large and diverse collection.
The Avison Ensemble rehearsing Beethoven's Triple Concerto for an all-Beethoven concert on period instruments at Kings Place, London, in March 2009. Soloists Alexei Lubimov (fortepiano), Pavlo Beznosiuk (violin) and Richard Tunnicliffe (cello). The concert was funded by Arts Council England North East, the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, the International Music & Art Foundation, the Monument Trust & the Northern Rock Foundation.
The Avison Ensemble is the outstanding period instrument orchestra based in Newcastle upon Tyne, which plays and popularises the music of Charles Avison (1709-1770) and other English classical composers of the Baroque period, such as Garth, Arne and Herschel. The Ensemble also performs Purcell, Handel, Vivaldi, Corelli, Geminiani, Pergolesi, Teleman, Rameau, Bach, Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven.

The Glenn Dale Tuberculosis Hospital and Sanatorium was constructed specifically to house and treat children and adults suffering from tuberculosis. The campus demonstrates the struggle of the District of Columbia to combat the public health treat caused by tuberculosis during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Glenn Dale was owned and operated by the District, and is located only 15 miles outside the city, providing the remote setting and abundant fresh air that were considered ideal in the treatment of the disease, as the continued inclusion of the stricken in the District’s general population without adequate care was viewed as a serious public health threat. Glenn Dale provided free medical care to its patients.
There are seventeen buildings on the campus dating from 1933 – 1959 which contribute to the significance of the complex. The campus included interrelated medical, residential and mechanical buildings and landscaped areas, the majority of which remain intact with a high level of historical integrity. The classical detailing of the buildings and the interconnected series of pedestrian and vehicular circulation paths all contribute to its historical and architectural significance as a distinguishable, unified, representative example of a twentieth-century therapeutic campus.

This guy was dam good. He was just soloing over a backing track. The guitar sounded amazing. Wanted to ask him where he got the CD but his solos lasted for about 3 and a half hours.
Another "Classical Romance" Design, with the beautiful combination of white vinyl and black-pink floral fabric, that complete each other perfectaly because of the difference of the colors.
It has a magnatic closure, and a dividing zip pocket inside. The lining is all black. The strap is attached by o-rings and to the bag with eyelets.
