Smith Museum of Stained Glass (Chicago)
OK this is a bit off-topic, but since I posted about Oak Park I figured I may as well put the rest up too. We went to this museum in the evening. It's at Navy Pier which is a very odd place for a museum... but nonetheless it was great. The windows were installed in lightboxes in the corridor so you could just wander through at your own pace.

I love that museum. It's very underrated. But I wasn't crazy about the tiffany stuff. I liked the german hand-painted stuff better. I found that place by accident when I went to the place that the SNL Cheeseburger-Cheeseburger skit is based on.

I belong to a church with Tiffany windows and I’m trying to identify the designer. Your picture of “landscape with waterfall” http://www.flickr.com/photos/12356381@N00/95515520/
Is the only picture I can find of the window with that name, which I know is designed by Agnes Northrop.
You could help me out a lot if you looked at the window down the page at
http://www.nbm.org/Exhibits/current/Picture_This.html
which is also from the Smith Museum and check your recollection. I suspect that this window is the one that should be named “landscape with waterfall”.
Please email me at cathy.lilly “at” gmail.com with your thoughts.
Thank you
