Tango! Tango! Tango! Athenaeum salutes Argentina
The Athenaeum Music and Arts library became an Argentinian nightclub Sept. 10 as patrons in festive attire arrived for dinner, dancing, musical entertainment by Camarada and South of the Border-style movements by Tango Alma. The party throughout the museum spilled onto the patio and street under twinkling lights.
