Comments on Philly/Seattle

I am so glad that The Gross Clinic didn't go to the Wal-Mart heiress and is staying in the Phily Museum of Art!
Though I do appreciate that surgeons these days wear scrubs and not their Sunday best.

Actually, it is not staying in the Phily Museum of Art. It's being moved there from its original location at the Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia. It used to be just there in one of the rooms, as art should be: being part of everyday life, cultural heritage and history of a place where it belongs.
In a way I wish it was still the case.
It's too bad that now we have to go to designated places, like museums, to find this kind of connection to history and continuity to culture.
