Cezanne art work is my favorite, and the replicas of bedrooms, ect during different time periods is something you do not want to miss!
Try the Lemon Tart With Raspberry - Lovely treat after an excursion of art works in the museum.
Sure there's the world-class art downstairs by history's best painters, but don't miss exhibits on the top floor. There's part of a monastery, temple, and a Japanese tea house all INSIDE the museum.
Greatest collection of art you will ever see.
Although much of the art once housed in the Barnes Foundation will move to a new facility in May 2012, the extensive arboretum will remain open to the public, reopening in late summer 2012.
Amazing art collection - a definite must see in Philly.
Great place to enjoy a lunch while admiring great mosaic art!
If you don't check out the beautiful murals here, then you are missing a hidden gem in Philadelphia.
So quirky yet beautiful, every corner you turn, you see a different work of art.
Amazing collection of art!
R.I.P. Philadelphia artist Murray Dessner, who taught here from 1970 to 2012: http://ph.ly/0Sw0C
Love their mix of Pennsylvania "old" masters and contemporary edgy art. Don't miss the WWI exhibit.
A serene spot with some great art and beautiful grounds. Enjoy the escape from the city.
One of the best art spots in Philadelphia, great collection
Inspiring artist well worth checking out if you haven't visited this museum. I would stop by every day and study the sculptures outside on my way to school. Rodin is an amazing artist:)

While you are checking out ROCKY make time to go to the PHILADELPHIA ART MUSEUM! It's right behind Rocky (Rocky runs up the Art Museum steps) and home to priceless ART from around the world.
Did you know that the Rocky statue was originally placed at the top of the steps of the Art Museum? Run/walk to the top and see what is left of where he once stood.
The staff was SUPER awesome! Helped me get ready for my first art show <3
The only place I go for my art supplies.
Enormous art supply store. I just go there for the amazing selection of pens.
Don't miss the opportunity to run up the Rocky Stairs in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, immortalized by Sylvester Stallone in the movie "Rocky."
Stop and take a picture of the "Rocky Statue." Then start your run up the “Rocky Steps”; 72 stone steps before the entrance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art with a beautiful view of center city.
Panoramic view of downtown Philadelphia skyline from the steps of museum of art made famous in movie Rocky.
Your first stop for free art classes.
This place is for you if you wanna start with the ABCs of art, somewhere in the middle or even an expert!
Take some classes or a workshop! They offer free classes and special discounts to members! I recommend Mixed Media Sculpture with Joni Woods!
The guided tour by the Mural Arts Program is well worth the $17 bucks.
Each Saturday at 10:00 a.m., a Mural Arts Program guide leads participants on a tour of "Love Letter," a series of 50 rooftop murals.
One of my favorite things in w philly. Get off at 52nd street on MFL and walk market up to 63rd. Murals on both sides. Something about the hopeful messages of love juxtaposed against crumbly buildings
