Museum reverses course, and it’s the ‘Philadelphia Museum of Art’ once again
The name change announced in October has been changed back, but some elements of the rebrand will remain.

Devastating! Dan and I followed each on Twitter for years. He was a true original, and, as this obit indicates, his curiosity and playfulness were downright relentless. I don’t want to imagine a world without him.

“Today, the word ’football’ is used to refer to different games: American football . . . where a foot is rarely used to direct the ball. And elsewhere in the world, football refers to what Americans call ’soccer.’”
Would it rock NPR’s world to learn of Australian-rules football or Gaelic football?

Americans may love football, but did you know its origins are in medieval England?

Listen, this is, under the circumstances, the least surprising news ever. But if there were *ever* a museum that needed to shake off a fusty image, it’s our art museum. The powers-that-be there seem not to have changed much from the civic booster-types who started the dang thing 150 years ago.
The Philadelphia Art Museum’s marketing chief has resigned. It may now want a do-over on its rebrand.
“The question is whether we’re in the territory of a rebrand that is counterproductive to our ambition or not,” said museum chief Daniel H. Weiss, of the museum's widely-panned campaign.
