The tour guide said he is not sure when the exhibition will open to the general public. The museum needs to work out the logistics. The Infinity Rooms are cleaned with an air purifier between each visit, which is not practical with large crowds.

The entertaining bookcore thread has me wondering...are there any good bookstores in DC or (better yet) the VA burbs?
They are increasingly hard to find. Here's a few off the top of my head:

I’ve never seen anyone dress that way at any of the bookstores I frequent. Kramer Books and Politics and Pros are two of stores I like to hit up. How do you dress when going to bookstores?

I can't say I've ever dressed in a specific way to go to a bookstore. I typically wear whatever I'm wearing at the time. My casual wardrobe is probably dressier than average (corduroys or fatigues, no jeans, flannels/chambray/denim shirts, etc.).

The food at Kramers is much better than you would expect it to be. It's become a go-to place to grab a bite to eat for me and my friend after we visit the Phillips Collection.

Same here. "Bookcore" mostly pulled out of thin air it seems.
