I was five years old when I first visited the Philadelphia Museum of Art.  (way back in 1995).  I remember climbing up hundreds of steps super slowly and then suddenly being surrounded by hundreds of crazy people on roller blades.  My mother was rather nervous about the situation. I remember wondering why they picked this location.  After that day my mother always brought us in the back entrance to the museum, so we wouldn’t be hit by an out-of-control blader.

maybe this is still a popular activity?

I was at the art museum for an Art of India assignment.  I was forced to cross the street and go to the Perelman building to check out a great exhibit on Kantha (embroidered quilts from bengal).  It is a charming but small building that is often neglected by the average museum visitor.  Probably worth a visit if you have mythical free time.

Is that the building with pretty gold leaf on the facade across Pennsylvania Ave? It sign says it’s part of the art museum, but I don’t know if we are allowed in.
