# Conversation with Maya Lin at the Opening of the Treasures Gallery

As part of the opening of the new David M. Rubenstein Treasures Gallery at the Library, Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden talked with American architect, designer and sculptor Maya Lin, who started her remarkable career when, as an architecture student at Yale University in 1981, she proposed a radical yet simple concept for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. That design is now part of the Library’s collections and on display in the new gallery.
