Vive La France! The Art and Architecture of The Benjamin Franklin Parkway

Thursday, November 11, 2021 - 6:00pm - 7:00pm Location:
Athenaeum of Philadelphia
Philadelphia, PA
United States
See map: Google Maps
With Therese Dolan and Lynn Miller
Event in partnership with the Athenaeum of Philadelphia
Just over a century ago, the creation of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway by two French architects provided a stunning boulevard for Philadelphia that was inspired by the Champs-Elysées. That gave a major piece of this city something of the look of Paris, allowing museums and green space to grow there that would hold some of the greatest examples of French and French-inspired art in the world.
Lynn Miller and Therese Dolan, the authors of Salut! France Meets Philadelphia, will explore this subject in a program co-sponsored by the Athenaeum of Philadelphia and the Alliance Française de Philadelphie.
