Elderism #20

November 3rd, 2008

Bill McLaughlin and Dick Hughes are two 85 year-old gentlemen who have self-published a guide to museums in and near Philadelphia. The guide–a stapled and Xeroxed packet–offers reviews of 203 venues. Studio 360 did a sweet segment on the two men this weekend, meeting up with them at a Frida Kahlo exhibition. “There’s a lady lying in bed and all her inside parts are blown out of her mouth,” Bill describes one Kahlo painting. He adds,

“That is repulsive, but good.”
