The Yamatorium is unlike anywhere else in Philly, probably the world! It’s the brainchild of Steve Erdman, and it builds from the artist’s ever-growing career, influences, and curiosities. It’s a kind of museum to his creative religion/universe. And there’s really almost no way to explain it other than to invite you to visit yourself. To do so, just reach out to @theyamatorium and schedule a visit! You will not be disappointed.

HUMANS, llamas and paper clips—Teller (yes, that Teller from Penn & Teller) @pennandtellerlive and friends visited the Yamatorium!! I gave him the full Belopian download!! Complete with songs, yam folklore, and the tale of chasing the notes to Earth. He even wore the Farcycle wowbrain! It was one of the most magical days of my life. 📺💛🧡🍠🍠🍠🍠🍠🚀🥹

#westphillyporchfest !!! Yesterday was an incredible day, and I’m forever thankful for my YAM family, my artist and musician pals, and everyone who jumped in and rode the high vibes of #joyfull #weird #resist
I’m simply floored by the love, pretzel energy, and generosity that filled the Yamatorium. Together, we continue our noble mission to be forever frivolous, to slurp the noodle of life, to YAM what you YAM, It was an honor to share this beautiful day with all of you. |
