Travel to Rome and Venice by way of a photography exhibition by Linda Adlestein at the Reading Public Museum from Oct. 28, 2006 to Jan. 21, 2007. The show features images from two of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Adlestein is an accomplished artist/photographer with over twenty exhibitions in cities including Philadelphia, New York, Southampton, San Francisco, Coral Gables, Paris and Kyoto. Her work is included in numerous public collections worldwide. She is the recipient of a Pew Foundation Grant at LaNapoule, France, and a Pennsylvania Council on the Arts Fellowship Award in Photography.

Opening Reception: Saturday, October 28 — 5:00-7:00 p.m.

Linda Adlestein will be joined by George H. Sullivan, who will be signing his new book, Not Built in a Day: Exploring the Architecture of Rome. This is part of the Reading Public Museum’s participation in “Reading Reads,” the Greater Reading Literary Festival. Sullivan is a veteran travel writer and lecturer, and has published walking tours of both Florence and Vienna. He spent fifteen years researching and writing the essays that ultimately became Not Built in a Day.

This exhibition is underwritten in part by grants from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission.
