@timdotbiz @ZaraAnishanslin Hi Zara! :) It’s true, Portrait of a Woman in Silk is one of my all time favs. Thank you for writing it!

[Amy Noel Ellison @amyknoel]

@cja_bates @mikedoesmuseums @AmPhilSociety @AmRevMuseum Oh wow, that’s really interesting! Will definitely look into this. Thank you for sharing!

[Amy Noel Ellison @amyknoel]

Thanks @mikedoesmuseums @AmPhilSociety @AmRevMuseum for pulling this together! Always fun to talk Peale, triumphal arches, and crowds.

[Am Phil Society @AmPhilSociety]

In 1789, Philadelphians celebrated the arrival of George Washington with a “Triumphal Arch”—but it nearly ended in disaster. Learn the details in the 2nd installment of #CrowdedHistory with @amyknoel, @mikedoesmuseums, and @AmRevMuseum https://t.co/wbqbftcno3 #VisitPhilly

@Boston1775 @AmPhilSociety @MHS1791 There was a mixup in the description. This talk is about Peale’s 1784 arch to celebrate the end of the war, not his 1789 arch to celebrate GW.

@dianaemarsh @EleanorHarvey @NatGeo @mikedoesmuseums That’s so sad!!

Thanks for publishing our book on the Peale exhibits and conservation work, @AmPhilSociety!

I highly recommend applying for this fellowship!
