The Barnes Foundation has now posted a Web cam that will catalog the progress of the construction. From what I've seen it looks to be a photo cam that takes photos every once in a while rather than a video cam.

I just got off the phone with Director Don Argott. He directed the popular documentary film “Rock School, ” based on the Paul Green School of Rock. Argott’s latest film “The Art of the Steal” is based on the controversial Barnes Foundation’s plan to move to Philadelphia, a mere five miles from its home in Merion.

Argott and I spoke about Lower Merion Township’s “too little, too late” approach to the situation has done very little to keep the Barnes where it is.

The film maker summed up the move with one principal problem, the Barnes Foundation’s Board of Trustee’s is set on moving to Philadelphia and have no interest in maintaining the late Albert Barnes’ will that the school never be moved from its place in Montgomery County.

Look for more on this story in this week’s column.
