Dept. of the Interior unveils Ansel Adams exhibit.

Canyon de Chelly - Arizona

Nearly 70 years after originally scheduled to be displayed, the U.S. Department of the Interior has hung the murals that then-Secretary Harold Ickes commissioned Ansel Adams to photograph for the building. The murals were made in 1941 and 1942, but were never displayed.

Unfortunately it's not easy to get in to see the exhibit in person, but the DOI has made the images available on their web site, including high resolution versions.
