Philadelphia’s new “portal”, an art installation which connects to a variety of international cities, including Dublin, Ireland; Vilnius, Lithuania; and Lublin, Poland, is now live in the center of Philadelphia, NBC10 reported.

“What may seem like a simple camera is actually a gateway — a direct connection to cities, people, and cultures across the world,” said Michael Newmuis, 2026 director for the City of Philadelphia. “The portal offers a glimpse into the future and what’s possible.”

The connection is set to rotate every 3-1/2 minutes. The Portal will stay in LOVE Park through at least November 7 before it moves to another location in Philadelphia, organizers said.

Philadelphia will soon be able to connect with more cities as more “portals” are installed around the world.

In 2021, the first Portals—created by Lithuanian artist and entrepreneur Benediktas Gylys—opened, connecting Vilnius to Lublin.
