A month ago my father, age 83 and a Philadelphian all his life, told me when we made plans to see the newly restored "The Gross Clinic" by Thomas Eakins that he has never been to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. INCREDIBLE, I thought. So, not only would we take in the highly revered work of Philadelphia's famous 19th century artist, but we would also make an attempt to knock out a few exhibitions in the venerable old building up the steps that Rocky made so famous.
The following video excerpts were shot [mostly] with the permission of the museum staff. Thank you to anyone who had to put up with my dad for any exchange that took longer than him saying, "You know this is my first visit to the museum and I've lived here all my life!"
I HAVE SEEN THE FATHER OF HOBAN. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE WORLD LEFT TO SEE.
