Maderia IV assistant curator of European Decorative Arts, said that Baker’s flag is a design “that represents human rights and equity.” The nylon flag is approximately 3-feet wide and 5-feet long.
The public will be able to view the rainbow flag as an art object at the museum through July 8 in a gallery located outside the Great Stair Hall. A rainbow flag will be displayed for the first time as an example of contemporary art design at the Philadelphia Museum of Art on the 40th anniversary of the flag’s debut.
