Field Trip - Kate Ware Curator of Photographs, Philadelphia Museum of Art

We'll be visiting The Perelman Building at the PMA during class on Wednesday, April 23rd. We'll meet in the lobby at Moore at 9:30 and walk up the Parkway.

The Perelman Building is the newly renovated building just across Kelly Drive from the main museum building. It looks like this http://www.philamuseum.org/perelman/. The address is the corner of
Fairmount and Pennsylvania Avenues Philadelphia, PA 19130.

We'll be meeting with Kate Ware Curator of Photographs;
Julia Dolan, who organized the Ansel Adams show; and John Vick, a curatorial fellow at the museum.

Please come prepared with a question or two about museum careers, how a curator's perspective on pictures/shows/etc. might differ from that of an artist, Ansel Adams, Lee Miller, photography in Philadelphia, what a curatorial fellow is/does, etc.
