Palaces for the People: Guastavino Tile at MCNY

The Guastavino family pioneered structurally strong vaulted tile spaces, making many of New York's amazing public spaces possible. Their work is all over the place, including Grand Central Terminal, Ellis Island, the old City Hall Train Station, and even up inside the Washington Square Arch. We were excited to see the exhibit celebrating their contributions to the architecture of the city at the Museum of the City of New York. Mikro even got to make a tile project of his own at the family workshop they were having.
