We arrived at the 30th Street station around noon, ate our bag lunch, then walked directly to the PMA. Jordan and I both like the Impressionists, so we wandered around that area for a while.
There was an alcove in the contemporary art collection dedicated to Mircea Cantor, who was born in 1977. Four years older than me and she already has her art displayed in the PMA...
One of my favorite parts was the special exhibition of silversmiths which included this fish dish. Clever!
For more pictures of the stuff I enjoyed, including two unique renditions of the four seasons, click on the picture below, which features Jordan standing next to a miniature parking meter. What do you suppose you would park next to this thing? (Maybe there is a video camera set up nearby to catch people's reactions...)
P.S. Some day, try eating a hard pretzel while looking at a digital clock. Seriously trippy!

I like the pictures of Jesus next to Ben Franklin. Seriously, who else do Philadelphians need? :)
The little blue parking meters are for the handicapped. They're all over the city, and you can be ticketed for parking at them if you don't display a handicapped permit in your car or on your license plate.
Jesus and Ben Franklin are a pretty good pair. If they weren't both by the same artist, I would wonder if Philly was trying to propagandize the art-viewing public.
Thanks for the info. It's still more fun to think that the little parking meters are for clown cars or something. I mean, what if someone's handicap is that they cannot bend over?
Thanks for sharing the photos. It was almost as good as going myself, and, since I've never been, it was my best visit to date!
I don't think I've mentioned this before, but I'm a sucker for pictures, and you give me lots of views and sights that I enjoy, so thank you one more time.
The End.
I'm more than happy to oblige!
