Museum Club

We'll visit the new home of the Princeton University Art Museum. From their website:
Broad in scope yet intimate in experience, the Museum presents opportunities to delve deeply into the study of art and culture, offers a revitalizing experience of extraordinary works of art from around the globe, and provides entry to the University’s intellectual resources. Bringing together outstanding works of art, fresh scholarship, and wide-ranging perspectives, the Museum promotes dialogue among diverse audiences, fosters inquiry and curiosity, and affords encounters that excite the imagination. The Museum acts as a hub and gathering space in which people come together in a welcoming atmosphere, and in which intellectual stimulation goes hand-in-hand with emotional, psychological, and social well-being.

Admission if free!

There is parking throughout Princeton (although you will need to walk to the museum once parked) and the campus is accessible via public transportation - for more details click here. You will definitely need to consult GPS or a map from parking to the museum.

We'll check out the exhibition "Or Not to Be" at the Philadelphia Free Library. From a blog on their website:
The Free Library of Philadelphia’s newest exhibition invites visitors to contemplate one of life’s most profound universal experiences through the lens of history, culture, and art. “Or Not To Be: Representations of Death in Special Collections,” brings together treasures from across the Free Library’s incredible Special Collections: the Rare Book Department, Print and Picture Collection, Map Collection, Children’s Literature Research Collection, the Edwin A. Fleisher Collection of Orchestral Music, and Sheet Music Collection. Together, these materials explore fundamental human questions: Why are we here? What does it all mean? What happens after death?
The exhibition reminds us that while death may be life’s greatest mystery, the human response to mortality through art, literature, music, and ritual reveals elements of our shared humanity across cultures and centuries. With “Or Not To Be: Representations of Death in Special Collections,” the library is offering visitors a dignified perspective, with fascinating insights into how different cultures across time have grappled with mortality. Visitors will discover rare books dating to the mid-18th century, international musical scores about grief, themed artwork, and manuscripts that reveal the diverse ways societies have understood and honored what Hamlet called “the undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns.”

Admission is free!

Street parking in the neighborhood is available, but public transportation is probably a best bet.
