While the Philadelphia Museum of Art (of which Horace Trumbauer and Julian Abele are two of its architectural designers) will be the backdrop to LIVE 8 Philadelphia, it should also be noted that the Washington Monument within Eakins Oval at the end of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway (where I think the LIVE 8 stage will be) is Horace Trumbauer's earliest design on record
(1890).
The Free Library of Philadelphia at Logan Circle on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway is likewise a Horace Trumbauer design.
Helena is busy working on her paper "Pilgrimage, Reenactment and Tourism" which she will present at the Washington Monument within Eakins Oval 18 August 2005. She assures Otto that the Papal events in Rome this past April and LIVE 8 are indeed the culminating points of her paper.
And don't forget "Creating One's Own Virtual Museum of Architecture" will be presented by Richard Krautheimer and Philip Johnson on 7 July 2005 within the enormous subterranean arched vaults of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
