Brownstoner Philadelphia
By Theresa Everline
Did you know that Philly has more outdoor sculpture than any other American city? Starting in June you’ll be able to take an audio tour of 35 of them situated along the Ben Franklin Parkway and Kelly Drive. That’s when the Fairmount Park Art Association is launching Museum Without Walls: AUDIO, available by cell phone or audio download. Right now you can go to this website to listen to a sample of the three-minute segments, such as one about renowned artist Henry Moore’s bronze sculpture Three-Way Piece Number 1: Points (pictured above, hanging out in the lovely April weather with Cafe Cret’s outside diners at 16th and the Parkway). The segments are nicely produced and feature the voices of people with insider knowledge about each work’s background and history.
