“The Fairmount Park Art Association’s new program, Museum Without Walls, offers the best of both worlds, transforming the Parkway and Kelly Drive into a virtual museum, and visitors’ cell phones and iPods into tour guides.

‘Philadelphia has one of the most important collections of public art in the country, if not the world,’ said FPAA executive director Penny Balkin Bach last week in LOVE Park. ‘But it’s also one of the most unknown and unappreciated.’”
