11 Celeste Bartos Forum O riginally the Library's Central Circulation Room, the Celeste Bartos Forum was renovated into a premier rental space in 1986. This marble- paneled room, dominated by a glorious 30- foot- high glass and cast- iron dome, measures 6,400 square feet and can accommodate up to 500 guests. The versatility of this private space, with its adjacent catering kitchen and green room, makes it the perfect setting for a variety of events, including fashion shows, weddings, formal dinners, black- tie galas, meetings, and corporate parties. © Peter Aaron/ ESTO © Chris Taggart/ Event designed by David Tutera
