I&#8217;ve always wanted to see the &#8220;hidden&#8221; mosaic tile mural by Chagall in Georgetown but it was located in the private garden owned by Evelyn Nef. She was a patron of the arts and the mural was given to her and her husband by their friend, Marc Chagall. She was a widow when she died at 96 and without children. The National Gallery of Art, has fortuitously become the recipient of her generous donation &#8212; a treasure trove of illustrations, by Renoir, Kadinsky and L\u00e9ger, as well as prints by Pablo Picasso and Chagall along with his mosaic mural, <em>Orph\u00e9e.<\/em> A crew has carefully moved the mosaic panels to the NGA&#8217;s outdoor public Sculpture Garden for all to enjoy. It only took 3.5 years to do!
