SC - Medieval exhibits in Philadelphia/NYC area?

[weymouth at iceweasel.org]

Greetings Stefan,

I think I'm one of the few Philadelphians lurking on the list right 
now.  The Philadelphia Museum of Art has a wonderful Medieval 
Collection recently redone in the style of the Sainsbury Wing of the 
National Gallery in  London.  Wonderful variety of works--furniture, 
manuscripts, architecture and paintings.  Currently, for later period 
work there is a special Delacriox exhibit. Also, an exhibit of church 
vestments and embroideries from the 14th and 15th C.   Delacroix 
ehibit requires a timed ticket. PMA is closed on Mondays.  They've 
got a pretty good web  site for more info.

The American Swedish Museum, also in the city, has an exhibit on 
early Swedish settlement, 1638-1655. Their phone # is 215-389-1776.

The only iron-making related thing that I could find is at Hopewell 
Furnace in Elverson (not sure exactly where that is but I'm sure it's 
West of Valley Forge).  That's a 19th C iron making site.  Phone # 
for that site is610-582-8773. 

Most of the historic sites in the area are geared up for Christmas.

If you need other suggestions, feel free to email me privately.
