Consulate Principal Officer and Punjab Minister for Information Technology Open the Exhibit at Historic Tollington Hall
Lahore – U.S. Consulate Principal Officer, Bryan Hunt, and Punjab Minister for Information Technology Abdul Aleem Khan, today inaugurated a photo exhibit, “The Landmarks of New York,” at Tollington Hall.
“As it celebrates the 40th anniversary of New York’s Landmark Preservation Act, it is only befitting that the exhibit is being displayed in a building like the Tollington, a unique landmark of Lahore restored recently to its original grandeur,” the senior U.S. diplomat remarked at the opening.
Organized by the U.S. Consulate in collaboration with the Lahore Museum, the exhibit will remain on display in Lahore through June 14, and is to be displayed in Peshawar and Karachi later on.
“Documenting some of the most significant and unusual properties in New York, the exhibit offers viewers in Lahore an opportunity to look into the history of New Yorkers from the 1640s to the present,” Public Affairs Officer, Kathleen Eagen, explained during her opening remarks.
Comprising 81 photographs, the exhibit has been sponsored by the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and the U.S. Embassy in Skopje, Macedonia. It features a diversity of photographs including civic buildings, parks, factories, office towers, universities and museums.
