Located on the eighth floor of Schermerhorn, the Wallach Art Gallery is currently running Revolutions: A Century of Makonde Masquerade in Mozambique through December 8, 2007.
With over 60 pieces of Madonke art, ranging from masks to tapestries to puppets, this extensive collection features an often-ignored African culture. Photos on the wall display the dancers in action and there is also a live recording of dancers performing in lavish costumes. Next time you’re passing Schermerhorn, pop in for a quick browse.

@SHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHermerhorn!
@bwog you should settle it once and for all… SHermerhorn or SKermerhorn?
run a poll on here; whichever one gets the most votes is the official pronunciation of schermerhorn.
@Zach vS It’s “Schermerhorn” — it’s a Dutch name, and in Dutch “Sch” is this Hebrew-sounding throat growl. You can trust me, it’s in my name.
Or trust Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheveningen#Trivia
@Still, Even if it’s a Dutch name, it doesn’t mean that the sound is necessarily pronounced the same–white South African names have strayed a bit from their pronounciations of origin, for example. I imagine that it can be pronounced differently depending on the named person’s actual country of origin–it’s not necessarily related to where the word came from. We need to figure out in whose honor the building was named and go from there.
until then, SKERmerhorn, fo sho.
