Celebrate Saarinen!

Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen only lived to 51, and yet he created a dramatic body of work, from furniture designs to airport terminals. An amazing collection of his sketches, working drawings, models, photographs, furnishings, and other items are on display at the Museum of the City of New York through January 31.

The exhibition, Eero Saarinen: Shaping the Future, then moves to Yale University, which houses the world's largest archives of Saarinen papers.
