Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA)

Comment on Facebook

Founded in 1805, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) is America's first school of fine arts and museum. A recipient of the 2005 National Medal of Arts presented by the President of the United States, PAFA is a recognized leader in fine arts education. Nearly every major American artist has taught, studied, or exhibited at the Academy, from the Peale Family, Thomas Eakins and Mary Cassatt, to Maxfield Parrish, Cecelia Beaux and many, many more. The institution's world-class collection of American art continues to grow and provides what only a few other art institutions in the world offer: the rare combination of an outstanding museum and an extraordinary faculty known for its commitment to students and for the stature and quality of its artistic work.

In 1884, Greenwich Mean Time was adopted as a new universal time standard. Clocks and watches became more affordable and proliferated among ordinary people and as a consequence, new understandings of personal time management, punctuality and time efficiency emerged. Vanessa Ogle, from the University of Pennsvlvania, traces these heated and controversial debates...
