The Athenaeum of Philadelphia has long been one of Philadelphia's important cultural centers. I've been in this building since I was a kid, and you know what? .... it hasn't changed much. At a recent function here, one could almost feel like time has stopped. For outside visitors, there is always something to see from a special exhibition gallery to the Bonaparte Room to the magnificent second floor library and its adjacent game room. And all this in one old classically designed building on Washington Square!

This is an active library! It's driven by its members, which its elite/affluent roots also worked to drive. Visiting it is free, and there are a lot of curious and wondrous artifacts throughout the place.

I'm an artist and have used their digital scanning service. The work is placed face up on a large (4'x8') bed with a vacuum surface that keeps the work flat while it slowly rolls underneath a wide format camera. They give you your scan on a disc and save a backup. This is great for some type of artwork. Some adjustments in Photoshop are needed. A scan costs $100 but you can scan multiple images in one scan and if you join their organization you receive 25% off. Great for some art but not necessarily for everything.

Small as far as museums go but a very varied collection. Well worth checking out.
