“Color is to the eye what music is to the ear,” said Louis Comfort
TIFFANY IN 1916.This Obscura Day, join Field Agent Patti Swanson for
an early morning exploration of some of the city’s most brilliant
mosaic works. As one of the most prolific art glass artisans in
American history, Tiffany left a colorful and shimmering legacy

of Roger Brown and Marc Chagall, we'll explore together.
