the u.n. is brimming with art

Dove of Peace, detail, gift from Pope John Paul IISpeaking of mid-century treasures and mosaics in Midtown, the U.N. is brimming with wonderful art and architectural details. And a trip to 1st Avenue seemed a bit easier than a trip to Brasilia to visit a creation by Oscar Niemeyer. For now.A tour of the U.N. lasts about an hour and is well worth the $13. It is quite a place to see. Or see again.
