The National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design generously hosted the launch of the book Piranesi and the Modern Age to a full auditorium. The launch coincided with the exhibition Piranesi and the Modern, based on the book, and mounted on the museum’s ground floor. The Director of collections, Stina Högkvist, introduced the event. The book’s editor, Tom Weaver from the MIT Press, gave a talk on the making of the publication before the book was presented by Adrian Forty, University College of London, and the author Victor Plahte Tschudi.
