SUMMARY:Into the Blue Exhibit at Penn Museum - on view through spring 2026
DESCRIPTION:A new exhibition curated by undergraduate students from the University of Pennsylvania explores the deep human history associated with a popular hue that has stood the test of time—Into the Blue: The Pursuit of a Color opens Saturday\, March 29\, 2025 at the Penn Museum. \n\n\n\nUnlike today\, blue was not easy to produce nor acquire in the ancient past. The relentless pursuit of blue for use in textiles and art has led to the development of ingenious methods in producing this rare\, highly prized color that holds significant meaning for diverse cultures around the world throughout history. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nInto the Blue spans 4\,000 years—displaying 20 objects from across the Penn Museum’s collections\, including select artifacts from the Middle East\, China\, Africa\, ancient Egypt\, and Central America. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe exhibition examines three themes: Obtaining Blue\, Making Blue\, and Synthesizing Blue. \n\n\n\nObtaining Blue highlights the mining and transportation of lapis lazuli\, a semi-precious gemstone used in decorative and ceremonial objects in the Middle East—along with the trapping of kingfishers\, brightly colored birds whose feathers were used to decorate articles of adornment in China. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nInto the Blue will be on view through spring 2026 and is included with Penn Museum admission.

SUMMARY:Garden Court Walking Tour: Presented by The Philadelphia Chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians
DESCRIPTION:Preservation Alliance Executive Director Paul Steinke will lead a walking tour of his former neighborhood! \n\n\n\nThe brainchild of developer Clarence Siegel\, Garden Court took shape in the 1920s\, occupying in a tiny sliver of undeveloped land in the midst of West Philadelphia’s older streetcar suburbs. A planned community of detached\, semi-detached and row homes rose up before the Great Depression\, along with several distinctive multi-family apartment buildings. The neighborhood’s tree-lined streets\, front gardens and accommodations for the increasingly popular private automobile set it apart from the older neighborhoods surrounding Garden Court. The borders of the Garden Court neighborhood are from 46th to 52nd street between Locust Street and Cedar Avenue.  This area also sometimes overlaps the ”Cedar Park” neighborhood. \n\n\n\nREGISTRATION REQUIRED\, SPACE IS LIMITED \n\n\n\n$20 for Phila Chapter SAH members & Preservation Alliance Members \n\n\n\nTo register please send your name and cell phone number to info@philachaptersah.org \n\n\n\nIf space is available\, the team will send you the payment link.
