Evan Hopkins Turner, former director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, dies at 93 Valerie Russ, The Philadelphia Inquirer
Evan Hopkins Turner, 93, an art historian who was director of both the Philadelphia Museum of Art and, later, the Cleveland Museum of Art, died Thursday, Dec. 17, from congestive heart failure at his home in Philadelphia.
Dr. Turner came to Philadelphia after a directorship at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in 1964. He succeeded Henri Marceau as director of Philadelphia’s museum and remained director until 1978.
His dedication to art came from both from his academic studies, which included three degrees including a doctorate in art history from Harvard, and also through his family legacy.

Live performances of songs from films, a career tribute for filmmaker Denys Arcand moderated by five-time New York Emmy award winner Jeffrey Lyons and an in- depth case study of documentary filmmaking from Sara Nodjoumi and Lisa Kleiner Chanoff are among the highlights of the Bahamas International Film Festival (BIFF) running online from January 4-10, 2021.
“I was humming and hawing about hosting a physical event, with so many restrictions and uncertainty,” says BIFF founder and executive director Leslie Vanderpool. “Even though filmmakers want to attend, I would not want them to fly all this way and there be another curfew or lockdown.”

10 Unbelievable Things Doctors Could Prescribe In Place Of Drugs
We often expect a drug prescription when we visit a doctor. However, physicians seem to be gradually shifting from solely recommending the use of medications to prescribing other unconventional things. These bizarre prescriptions could be issued alone or to supplement a medication or some other treatment.
These newer treatments include playing, cycling, singing, visiting museums, bird-watching, and even consuming alcohol. Cool! At least we may get a perfect excuse to miss work and do what we love at the same time. These prescriptions were all issued by real doctors and backed by state and even federal health departments, so they are not some fraudulent moneymaking scheme.
