Until I started reading about this museum I never knew that this Calder, the modern sculpture Calder who did the colorful mobile art, was related to the Calder that did the William Penn statue on city hall.

Probably common knowledge for Philly natives, but I’m a transplant.

The sculptor of William Penn is this guy's grandfather. The one in between -- the father of the mobile maker -- made the Swann Fountain in Logan Circle.
