Though the general public ALWAYS has permission to enter these lesser-known sections of The Rock, this exhibition provides a happy excuse to push the revolving doors into less-tourist?ed sections with the added confidence to linger. “Atlas” 1937, by Lee Lawrie & Rene Paul Chambellan, flanked by 2 sidewalk lightboxes by LaKela Brown

You should. Right now three vitrines on the north side of that lobby hold the beautiful plaster sculptures of LaKela Brown. The gold wall above them, titled ?Light and Movement?,was created in 1978 by Mi...
