10 Days: NPR Kicks In
In her report on Morning Edition (12-14-06) Susan Stamberg asks Kathy Foster from the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Joe Palka, NPR’s medical reporter, to analyze The Gross Clinic as a document of its day. Read more and listen to the report here.
Later the same day, during All Things Considered, WHYY’s Joel Rose reports from Jefferson staff and students and a scholar on the art and history of assembling museums. Read more and listen to the report here.
If you happened to miss it yesterday, take a listen to author William S. McFeely’s talk about Eakins and his new Portrait: A Life of Thomas Eakins, from the Free Library of Philadelphia. Listen here.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art’s Eakins fund webpage at http://www.philamuseum.org/giving/509-398.html says that they’re at 40% of the goal. It doesn’t give a dollar amount, but 40% of 68M is 27.2M.

Wow. $27 million is a ton of money, but it still leaves a ways to go. I’m not optimistic.
