The Academy of the Natural Sciences: More Than Just Dinosaurs

Doug Wechsler

Known to generations as the “dinosaur museum," The Academy of Natural Sciencesin Philadelphia is demonstrating that its activities have always extended far beyond paleontological displays.

WRTI's Susan Lewis takes us to the Academy, which is marking its bicentennial with a special exhibition.

Susan writes and produces stories about music and the arts. She’s host and producer of WRTI’s TIME IN online interview series, and contributes weekly intermission interviews for The Philadelphia Orchestra in Concert series. She’s also been a regular host of WRTI’s Live from the Performance Studio sessions.
