Linda Hall Library is an amazing asset whose priceless volumes, exhibits , and antiquities are accessible for free to all of us in the Kansas City metropolitan area and Beyond. One such gem of an antiquity is The priceless Malachite Tazza which passed from the hands of Tsar Nicholas I to a museum before being rescued from obscurity by the Spencer family whose gift allowed it to settle into its role as the center piece of Linda Hall's renowned collection. #umkc #lindahall #lindahalllibrary #kansascity #ericnielsenkc http://libguides.lindahall.org/c.php?g=218603&p=1444340
