The Margaret Rahill Great Hall October 5, 2008

Built in 1998 to enhance the museum, The Great Hall was named to honor former curator, Margaret Rahill, who envisioned this elegant space. The foyer displays more works from the permanent collection: 19th century paintings, including oils by French artists Jean Baptiste Robie, Charles Emile Jacque and German artists Heinrich Johann von Zugel and Adolf Schreyer. The Great Hall is used for museum programs and private events, and the gallery wall features changing exhibitions. The doors open to a spacious bluestone terrace and garden.
