Philadelphia Revitalizes Public Landmarks Ahead Of 2026 World Cup And US 250 Celebrations
A specialized conservation crew performs maintenance and restoration work on the ''drip'' component of Claes Oldenburg's iconic Paint Torch sculpture outside the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts on North Broad Street, in Center City Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, on April 7, 2026. This effort is part of a coordinated city-wide initiative to preserve and polish major public art installations in preparation for the historic summer of 2026, which includes Philadelphia hosting the FIFA World Cup and the United States' 250th anniversary.
