Please Touch Pop Art

The Please Touch Museum in Fairmount Park might be, arguably, the best kids museum on earth (museum seems like too small a word, too limiting… a multi-sensory experience is more like it, but too marketing jargon-y… perhaps one of those old -ara words like Sensorama is the most apt….) It also happens to be an endless fantasia of oversized, Claus Oldenburg-y, Koons-y pop art constructions… rockets, disco balls, cars both miniature and over-sized, a squished Septa bus, a functioning supermarket, junk sculpture, and an astro-turf draped staging of Alice’s Wonderland… acres of pop eye candy in an absurdly grand frosted layer cake of a building… (also at shepelavy.com)

It’s right up there with watching “Yo Gabba Gabba,” licking the foil lids of Yo-Baby yogurts and finishing the extra tater tots. The Bonus Features of parenthood.
