New Podcast: Tim Simon

We've posted a new podcast episode, this time featuring Tim Simon, descendant of James Simon and San Francisco resident, discussing the legacy and history of the Simon family and the exhibition The State Museums of Berlin and the Legacy of James Simon.

This podcast provides a fascinating look at the man and the family behind the philanthropy responsible for many of the treasures in the collections of Berlin's state museums, as well as shedding light on the local connection responsible for its exclusive showing here in San Francisco at the Legion of Honor.

You can grab two different versions: MPEG4 (enhanced with a images) and MP3.

You can also subscribe to our podcast RSS feed and be notified of new episodes when they go live.

The State Museums of Berlin and the Legacy of James Simon runs at the Legion through January 18, 2009.
