Armed with the extensive research on the background, content and effects of Magna Carta provided to docents, coupled with the “road map” provided by Nathan Dorn in his Gallery Talk, I have truly enjoyed giving tours of the Law Library’s Magna Carta: Muse and Mentor exhibit.
None so much though as the one I gave last Tuesday.
When I was initially asked to give the tour, I was told it was for a couple who had met at the Library and were now celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. I assumed that they must be former Library of Congress employees.
The real story is so much better.
