“The Flight Into Egypt” (detail) is from the Abbey Church of Saint-Denis, around 1145, made in France, and on loan from Glencairn Museum, Bryn Athyn, Pa.

of the world’s finest collections of medieval sculpture and stained glass from 12th-century France. Glencairn Museum is currently closed to the public for extensive infrastructure renewal, presenting the opportunity to display highlights from its collection in context in the medieval galleries of the Philadelphia Museum of Art through October.

Glencairn Museum, located in the 1930s home built by collector Raymond Pitcairn (1885–1966), has a long history of generous loans to the museum’s medieval galleries, and often lends work to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Met Cloisters, the J. Paul Getty Museum, and major museums across Europe, including the Louvre Museum. This is the first major loan grouping to a U.S. museum from the Glencairn Museum since 1982.

The installation is organized by Jack Hinton, Henry P.

tives intended to teach and inspire the faithful. The juxtaposition of the two collections also sheds light on the broader histories of early medieval and Gothic art and how these important gatherings of medieval art came about,” shared Hinton.

“We are proud of the nearly 100-year history of lending between our two institutions, and we are honored that the Philadelphia Museum of Art is exhibiting significant works from our collection. This is an exciting opportunity for audiences to engage with works of art with which they may not be familiar, and I am grateful for the opportunity to keep our treasures in the public eye while Glencairn is closed for renovations,” said Brian Henderson, director of Glencairn Museum.

Among the works on view are exceptional limestone and marble sculptures and figurative stained-glass panels from

A particular strength of the installation will be a group of narrative stained-glass panels from the Gothic period. The stories depicted will be deciphered for visitors and placed into a broader context of their significance within the decorative schemes of their churches of origin. Similarly, the framing elements of some glass panels and the related decorative designs on the stone sculptures will show how narratives could be heightened by certain ornaments. The historic architectural interiors of the museum, including its Cloister and monumental portal from the Abbey Church of Saint Laurent, near CosneCours-sur-Loire, France, will lend further context and depth to the presentation. The installation will also offer insight into the story of medieval art in the United States, its relationship to faith, and how the Pitcairn family amassed the extraordinary Glencairn collection.

About Glencairn Museum

Glencairn Museum houses the collection amassed by Raymond Pitcairn (1885–1966) in the 1920s and 1930s. The house and collections came about through Pitcairn’s work on Bryn Athyn Cathedral, built for the New Church community (inspired by the teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg) of which he was a leading member, and his collecting of examples of medieval art to inspire its craftsworkers.

Glencairn is now part of Bryn Athyn Historic District, a National Historic Landmark, which comprises four buildings: Bryn Athyn Cathedral, Cairnwood Estate, Cairncrest, and Glencairn Museum. Built between 1892 and 1929, this

Carlisle Import And Performance Nationals Brewed Up A Record-Setting Event

Over 2,000 Cars Converged On Carlisle Fairgrounds For Fun-Filled International Showcase

The Carlisle Import and Performance Nationals car show, in its current state, was launched in 2016 when the former Carlisle Performance and Style and Carlisle Import and Kit Nationals car shows became one. Since then, there’s been a steady growth of participation and a gradual evolution in the quality of vehicles showcased indoors and on the showfield. For 2023, the eighth offering of this mashed-up masterpiece generated an all-new showfield record of 2,097 vehicles. This total topped the previous modern-day record by 78 show cars.

Import and Performance Nationals. From general showfield participants to special vehicle displays, the participation was nothing short of aweinspiring. When showgoers entered Gate 3, the main entry point to the Carlisle, Pa., fairgrounds, they were met immediately by dozens of porsches. From there, the German showfield continued to the mid-point of the grounds and transitioned to an even more international flavor from fence line to fence line that included Italian, Ukrainian, Japanese, French, British, French, American, and Swedish cars too.

Outdoors may have looked great, but indoors was even better. Building Y hosted a gallery of nearly a dozen RollsRoyce cars from the Rolls-Royce Museum in nearby Mechanicsburg, PA. At least two of the vehicles had a Hollywood pedigree too, having been used in conjunction with Adam Sandler’s 2022 movie “Hustle” and the Amazon Prime program “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”

Adjacent to Building Y was Building T and its multi-focused gallery of cars. Another indoor display (Building R) featured French and Eastern Bloc vehicles.

Car clubs were also a big part of the two-day event, with the SAABs at Carlisle club earning the largest club honors, Volvos at Carlisle coming in second, and the Audi Club coming in third. Further, Citroens at Carlisle picked up Coolest Club honors. Additional awards were handed out by way of Carlisle Elite selections and kid’s choice, plus competition awards in low car limbo, drift limbo, rolling exhaust, and the second annual rolling burnouts and donut contest.

Additional fun elements of the event included the automotive flea market, pop-up ongrounds parades, a grand entrance by the Audi Club, and the passport program, where guests can travel the automotive world and get a stamp, special treat, and a prize at the end of their journey.

As the final hours of the 2023 event concluded, awards were posted for those who participated in professional judging; www.eJudged.com was back at it this year, offering its expertise to a few hundred car owners. Those who didn’t win still had the chance to talk with the judges to better their chances for future consideration.

The 2024 version of the event is happening May 10 and 11, and registration for it is now open.
