We are so very lucky to have two, count ‘em, two exhibits showcasing the 100th year of the New Yorker magazine. The New York Public Library’s main branch exhibit which we saw last week is on thru April of 2026 so there is no rush to check it out but today’s photo montage features the free exhibit at the L’Alliance Gallery and is only on thru March 30, 2025. This exhibit features their cover art only. There are controversial covers, political covers, funny covers and a wall of rejected covers. I found the original art next to the actual cover to be the most fascinating part of the exhibit. On a few of todays photos you can see the original art and the cover inserted into the photo. Full disclosure, I have been a New Yorker subscriber for many years. Sometimes two months of issues piles up on my coffee table. I made a New Year’s resolution to finish each issue the week it arrives. So far I have failed each week. The beauty of the New Yorker is that their brilliant writing has a shelf life and you can pick up a magazine months later and still enjoy reading it.

For more than 125 years, The New York Public Library has collected, preserved, and made accessible the world’s knowledge. Now, for the first time, the Polonsky Exhibition of The New York Public Library’s Treasures showcases some of the most extraordinary items from the 56 million in their collection. The exhibition is broken up into nine distinct sections: Beginnings, Performance, Explorations, Fortitude, The Written Word, The Visual World, Childhood, Belief, and New York City. It is a trip through history, both local and global, and there is something for everyone – young, old and in-between. The exhibition will be changing to highlight more of their treasures and to make sure that the light sensitive material is preserved. You will need a free timed ticket and proof of vaccination. It is well worth your time. I know that I will return. This article highlights some of the treasures you will see.
