Mr. Gissen has curated and designed several exhibitions, including New York s Floating Bathhouses mounted at The Lower East-Side Tenement Museum in New York City. The exhibition was featured in numerous publications, including the New York Times and Interiors Magazine and was the subject of lectures and symposia at Yale University and the Van Alen Institute in New York City. The National Building Museum , created by an act of Congress in 1980, is a private, non-profit institution that examines and interprets American achievements in building through exhibitions, educational programs, and publications. The Museum is currently developing a permanent exhibition, Building America, conceived to explore the achievements and qualities that are quintessentially American in our built environment. The Museum is located at 401 F Street NW, Washington, D.C., at the entrance to the Judiciary Square Metro station on the Red Line.
