Philadelphia Microcosm

Philadelphia Microcosm was part of the 125th Anniversary celebration of the Reading Terminal Market and part of a larger improvement plan of Filbert Street to make a better connection from the transportation hub to the Market. Artist Jon Laidacker was able to capture the spirit of this hub space where an overlap between the two worlds is fully intertwined and the vital connection of public transportation as it supports access to markets and commerce thrives. This microcosm of Philadelphia brings people from all walks of life together, whether local residents, visitors from afar or people just passing through during their lunch break, these new murals and additional interior painted improvements transform the entire vestibule where these two worlds come together.

Location Note: These interior murals may not always be accessible for public viewing.
