The Outdoor Museum: Not Your Usual Images of New York (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780825306754)

A touching, visual love letter to the city of New York that finds beauty in small moments.

Margery and Sheldon Harnick love New York. It's a place that has both nurtured and applauded them, Sheldon as a renowned Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway lyricist (Fiorello!, Fiddler on the Roof, She Loves Me) and Margery as an accomplished actress, dancer, painter, and photographer. Together, they bring their abundant talent and wit to this homage to their beloved city.The Harnicks began to construct their own virtual museum as they regularly walked the city streets. Looking past the landmarks and cultural icons, they came upon more fascinating and less regarded urban marvels: puddle reflections, subway tiles, sleeping swans, fireworks, public sculptures, store mannequins, and so much more. Margery snapped pictures and Sheldon scribbled verses on a pad.

The Outdoor Museum is a singular trophy by two New Yorkers who have contributed to and been touched by the city's magic. The visual wonders of their collaboration contained between the covers of this book are delightful, humorous, and at times deeply touching; a heartfelt love letter to New York.
