The Color Me Barbra Tour of the Philadelphia Museum of Art

Color Me Who?

The staff of the Philadelphia Museum of Art was very helpful in providing information about some of the artists who created the masterpieces featured in Color Me Barbra, and also in mapping out their locations within the museum. But amazingly, the connection between Barbra and the magnificent museum was lost on the present day employees. Not one person I spoke with knew that Barbra Streisand had taped a television special right in their own museum.

As a follow-up to our visit, I forwarded a tape of Color Me Barbra to one of the very helpful museum curators. With the museum's newfound revelation, maybe we can expect a special Color Me Barbra exhibition sometime soon.

We hope your "virtual" walk through the Philadelphia Museum of Art will inspire you to seek out these, or other works of art at a museum near you.

Shooting Color Me Barbra in the Philadelphia Museum was inspired. We were not only entertained musically, but were offered up a bit of art history as well. May your next viewing of Color Me Barbra be all the more enriched.
