The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage’s “Center Spotlight: June 2010” focuses on the Art Association’s recently launched Museum Without Walls™: AUDIO program for Philadelphia’s outdoor sculpture:

“On June 10, 2010, the Fairmount Park Art Association (FPAA) launched its highly anticipated Museum Without Walls: Audio project (MWW), an interactive audio tour that tells pedestrians the often little-known stories behind the many outdoor sculptures along Philadelphia’s Benjamin Franklin Parkway and Kelly Drive.

Fifty-one works of public art, including Robert Indiana’s iconic 1976 LOVE sculpture at JFK Plaza and J. Otto Schweizer’s All Wars Memorial to Colored Soldiers and Sailors (1934), are paired with three-minute audio segments narrated by a variety of well-known and little-known voices. The FPAA received two grants from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through the Heritage Philadelphia Program to support Museum Without Walls: Audio: a 2008 planning grant and a 2009 interpretation/implementation grant.”
