Opening May 2012, this controversial museum hosts some of the most rare and incredible art you'll ever seen. The collection will be displayed in almost the same way as the original Merion gallery.

Be sure to check out the Gallery Café for a snack, or better, a light lunch. The space is sleek and the fare is tasty.
Great food at the Gallery Cafe (tomato bisque was unbelievable). Discount for PMA members
PMA tends to overshadow the Perelman, but I've found plenty of interesting exhibits here. If you're checking out the museum, ask what's on display here and visit
Every 2nd Thursday all the first floor galleries are open from 6 - 9 pm!
See a show in the Icebox Project Space
This is a dark, open warehouse. Poor lighting, no tables, chairs or real bar. Death trap when you pack over 200 people into the so called "ice box room". Only one exit,
Best gallery in the city! Make sure to check out Lawren Alice's work!
Fantastic art space, great events and shows, and great owners. Bonus: the most gorgeous red couch you've ever seen. Take a selfie with it.

Visual feast
What else can you say about Isaiah Zagar? He's a magic (gardens) man. The fun, funky Magic Gardens includes a fully mosaiced indoor gallery & a massive outdoor labyrinthine mosaic sculpture.
Very pretty to walk through, there is an inside and an outside area as well as artwork spread through the town.
It may only be a 3,000-square-foot plot of urban land, but there's a lot to see. Reclaimed trash mosaics, mirror and tiles make this one hidden gem.
