I can never get too much of Michael Taylor, the energetic curator of Modern Art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Apparently, the Free Library has the same idea. So they invited him to take a walk down the Parkway to speak for their summer talk series–Become a Philadelphia Insider: Leaders of key Philly Institutions provide an inside view of how they work.
