American Philosophical Society Benjamin Franklin Hall 427 Chestnut St. Philadelphia, PA 19106

Join the American Philosophical Society and The British Academy on Tuesday, May 12, 2026 to welcome Dame Linda Colley for a lecture on “Rome and America: Edward Gibbon and the American Revolution.”&nbsp;
Between 1776 and 1783, Edward Gibbon published the first three volumes of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Read by many of the Founding Fathers, they were quickly purchased for the use of Congress and became best-sellers in the new United States. Despite this, and although Gibbon was a Member of Parliament during the Revolutionary War, he is now often represented as essentially a detached and conservative figure with no real interest in events in America. In this lecture, Linda Colley discusses the Revolution's impact on his ideas and on his history-writing, and what he meant in claiming that, “The decline of the two empires, the Roman and the British” was advancing “with equal steps.”
This event, featuring Linda Colley, a Fellow of The British Academy, is a collaboration of the APS and The British Academy and is part of a series of programs featuring international exchange of learned academies. While the APS is the oldest learned society in the United States, promoting useful knowledge in all fields, The British Academy is the UK’s national academy for the humanities and society sciences. They mobilise these disciplines to understand the world and shape a brighter future. Much like the APS, the Academy invests in researchers and projects, engages the public with fresh thinking and debates, and brings together scholars, government, business, and civil society to influence policy for the benefit of everyone. Moreover, like the APS’s elected Members, at the heart of the Academy is a Fellowship of more than 1,800 academics elected for their distinction in the humanities and social sciences. The Fellows play an active role in the Academy’s governance and support their work through involvement in events, awards, publications, and policy programs.

Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts

Who was Charles Willson Peale?
Step into Peale's extraordinary world--painter, naturalist, museum founder, and patriarch of America's most influential artistic dynasty--with Dr. Wendy Bellion, Sewell C. Biggs Chair in American Art History at the University of Delaware, for an illuminating exploration of the Peale family's outsized impact on American art and culture.
At the heart of this talk is Peale's iconic self-portrait The Artist in His Museum (1822)—a masterwork that captures Peale lifting a curtain to reveal his Philadelphia Museum's natural history wonders, inviting viewers into a space where art, science, and civic education converge. But the Peale story doesn't end with Charles Willson. His children—Raphaelle, Rembrandt, Rubens, Titian, and more—carried forward his artistic legacy, each making distinct contributions to American portraiture, still life, and museum culture.
A Nation of Artists features at least nine works by Peale family members, and PAFA's reinstalled galleries spotlight their enduring influence on American visual culture. Dr. Bellion, a leading Peale scholar, reveals why this family mattered so deeply to the formation of American identity and why their work continues to speak powerfully today.
PAFA Members are invited to join us after the program for an exclusive gallery experience with Dr. Bellion and PAFA's Curator of Curator of Historical American Art. <a href="https://tickets.pafa.org/orders/607/tickets?cart=true&amp;date=2026-05-13T12:00:00-04:00&amp;eventId=697ce8e68390a0ff5cedfcf5&amp;_gl=1*562a7p*_gcl_au*MTE5MzM2OTQzOS4xNzc0NTg0Mjgy*_ga*MTkwMzA3OTc1OC4xNzc0NTg0Mjgz*_ga_N7419TPB0K*czE3NzY5NjY2NDIkbzE4JGcxJHQxNzc2OTY3MjExJGo1NiRsMCRoMA..*_ga_X4ZS2QJ4NM*czE3NzY5NjY2NDIkbzE4JGcxJHQxNzc2OTY3MjExJGo1NiRsMCRoMA..*_ga_MF2XK7X1XD*czE3NzY5NjY2NDIkbzE4JGcxJHQxNzc2OTY3MjExJGo1NiRsMCRoMA..*_ga_R1MKTJKJQC*czE3NzY5NjY2NDIkbzE4JGcxJHQxNzc2OTY3MzE3JGo2MCRsMCRoMA.." target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Members, register here →</a><a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/143878/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More info

City Winery Philadelphia presents Sonja Morgan live on Wed, May 13th at 7:30pm.
Sonja Morgan is a television personality, fashion designer, and entrepreneur best known for appearing on The Real Housewives of New York City. Prior to joining the cast in 2010, Sonja had long been considered one of the most prominent "movers and shakers," beginning in the '80s as she balanced her studies at FIT with modeling around the globe. Sonja soon became a luxury brand consultant, and always had her finger on the pulse of the very best restaurants, hotels, and fashion. Restaurateur Sirio Maccioni of Le Cirque once said that "very few people have her talent in our business," and Esquire Magazine's John H. Mariani labeled her as "the straw that stirs the drink."
Having long been celebrated for her fashion taste in the New York society pages, and given her history working in the fashion world, Sonja debuted her fashion collection at New York Fashion Week in 2015. Sonja Morgan New York offers a wide variety of luxury fashions at an appealing price point. In 2017 she introduced her heritage brand shoe line, Sonja Morgan by French Sole, and the following year her empire expanded once again with the launch of Sonja by Sonja Morgan, a curated selection of affordable fashions and accessories all under $150.
It was Sonja's keen eye for business opportunities that led her to The Real Housewives of New York City. Though she initially declined to join the hit reality series when it launched, she signed on in season 3, and ever since has been lauded by viewers for her boisterous personality and one-of-a-kind sense of humor. She's been a member of the NBCUniversal family for over a decade, and is regularly asked to participate in advertising up-fronts, scripted comedies, commercials, and major motion pictures.
Her performing work has included her hit "caburlesque" show (a term coined by Sonja herself), a successful run in the Off-Broadway comedy Sex Tips for Straight Women from a Gay Man, an appearance in Hulu's "Difficult People," and a performance at Improv Asylum. Behind the camera, Sonja has served as a producer on movies such as The Marsh, starring Oscar-winner Forest Whitaker, and the 2018 film The Man in the Attic.
Sonja has long been an advocate for the arts, children, animals, and the LGBTQ community and since 1991 has worked with a wide variety of charities including New Yorkers for Children, The Princess Grace Foundation, ASPCA, and GLAAD. Sonja is often celebrated for her philanthropic contributions, going back to 1995 when she was honored at the St. Regis alongside Mira Sorvino and Vanessa Noel for her charity work as a young single woman.
It's Sonja's rich personal life that helps make her such a great fit for the hit reality franchise. As a young professional, Sonja broke off her six-year engagement with Italian Count PierFrancesco, who she lived with between Rome and Manhattan. For years the tabloids covered her escapades with famous and influential men, including Prince Albert of Monaco, comedian Richard Lewis, rock legend Eric Clapton, and tennis player John McEnroe. But it was with banker John Adams Morgan, descendant of financier J.P. Morgan and Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams, that Sonja met her match. Their "merger" resulted in a successful, loving decade-long marriage and a beautiful daughter.

Come dance the cachucha and join The Savoy Company in celebrating our 125th anniversary year with Gilbert &amp; Sullivan’s uplifting operetta, The Gondoliers! Set in Venice and the fictional kingdom of Barataria, the plot centers on two gondoliers, Marco and Giuseppe, who discover that one of them is the rightful king but cannot determine which. They agree to rule jointly until the true monarch can be identified, allowing Gilbert to satirize monarchy, aristocracy, and British political institutions. The show is especially noted for its unusually warm tone and emphasis on equality, reflecting contemporary late-Victorian debates about class and governance.
Through its witty dialogue, lively ensemble numbers, and playful mockery of aristocracy and political systems, the operetta celebrates equality while poking fun at rigid class distinctions and the pretensions of monarchy.
Premiered in 1889, The Gondoliers is the twelfth collaboration between librettist W.S. Gilbert and composer Arthur Sullivan. The show ran for 554 performances, making it one of the duo’s most successful later works.
Introducing Stage Director Grant Mech and Choreographer Rebecca Malcolm-Naib, whose inventive vision brings The Gondoliers to life in a masterful comedy that sparkles under the outstanding baton of Music Director Peter Hilliard and a superb professional orchestra. Produced by William Kader, the production is enhanced by a striking, professionally designed set and delightfully charming costumes.
