Giant Time Machine Being Built at the Kimmel Center for Arts Festival

AP reports on a “time machine”—100 feet long and 16 feet across—being built at the Kimmel Center for the Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts, March 8 through April 27.  “In addition to dozens of fun-filled activities and incredible performances by our PIFA partners, we are building Time Machine — an artful, interactive, time-travelling spiral,” Anne Ewers, president and CEO of the Kimmel Center, said Tuesday. “Hundreds of thousands were in awe when they saw our 81-foot Eiffel Tower in 2011. This year, hundreds of thousands will see Time Machine.” The Time Machine Plaza will include family activities, free shows, food and drink options, and other PIFA-related events—and of course represents the festival’s 2013 theme, “If I had a time machine.”
