The Glass House Celebrates 70 Years

This New Canaan, CT, historic house museum dates back to 1949, when it was constructed by famed modern and post-modern architect Philip Johnson as his personal residence. To mark its milestone 70th anniversary, the house will be the site of an anniversary party on Saturday, June 8, from noon to 4 p.m. If you can’t make it to the festivities, visit May 1 through August 15 to see a new exhibit: Gay Gatherings: Philip Johnson, David Whitney and the Modern Arts, which explores interactions at this modernist estate among eight gay men who profoundly shaped 20th century artistic culture.
