"Van Gogh Up Close" Is Enjoyable—If You Can Drown Out the Hype
From Amtrak’s transportation deal for would-be but far-flung visitors, to Alternative Tours Inc.’s “Gossip & Gardens” package—which ropes together "Up Close" and the Philadelphia Flower Show—all roads point to the PMA galleries.

Ever send a curse upon the woman who always has the most unique pieces, leaving you wondering where she could possibly be finding them?
