We’ve got an exclusive! Coming soon to Philadelphia is a new museum all about the people living in this great city. The Museum of the Philadelphian is opening in Fishtown this fall. Host Trenae Nuri sits down with Brain Adoff, the curator behind this project (who also created Join Philly), to talk about why Philly needs this space. Plus, they talk about the sorts of artifacts that are going to be displayed and what’s not included.
