One of Philly's best museums. Interesting structure and grounds.
Nice place. Eclectic collection. Fire alarm interrupted the visit.
One of my favorite art museums! The building itself is a work of art and Van Gogh's sunflowers is amazing. Can't visit Philly without stopping at this museum
You get so much for that $20 it’s baffling! This was our first time here in Philly and this museum was one of our favorite things! With 1 $20 ticket you get unlimited access to 5 locations for 2 days! So many beautiful sights to see and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We purchased a fancy cheese tray for only $12 and we sat on the main stairs and enjoyed live music while enjoying our cheese, bread, grapes and jam. This is a full day activity so bring a camera, and some cash for tipping the workers. Staff was helpful and made sure all guests and their exhibits remain safe!
I have been coming to the Art Museum since I was young and it keeps getting better. It has wonderful collections of paintings, tapestries, sculpture etc, a. Japanese house and a terrific new restaurant . There is also a new underground parking lot. The cost of the Museum ticket also includes entry to the Rhodan museum across the street and the museum gardens. And of course, everyone wants to run up the museum steps just like Rocky did.
Really cool! There's some beautiful art here and it's nice to learn about the history behind it. The armory was awesome by the way, a must if you're visiting for the first time.
As always the Museum was stupendous !! Having lived mostly in NJ I have been there often. This visit was after moving to Asheville, NC. It has been fifteen years since I have been there. I loved the Impressionist exhibition and had to go to the European wing 1500-1900. I have many old friends there.
Great collection. Nothing special, just another really good art museum. If you can, come here on the days it's free.
I never cease my sense of wonder when I go here. I've enjoyed looking at art for years now and I still come here to see the works of the masters. And it's in my own backyard.
Outstanding collections and very beautiful building. Signage could be better and about 1/2 of the staff seems very situationally unaware, hence the loss of a star. Still, well worth the visit.
Fantastic experience. One of the best art museums I have ever been to. The staff had great suggestions for what I might enjoy. Can't wait to come back some day!
Had a wonderful time visiting the museum. There's a lot to see and a wide variety of artistic styles. I was happy to see many artists I was familiar with (Picasso, Monet, Degas, Dali, and many more)! Would recommend checking it out if you have a good few hours and enjoy art.
One of the largest art museums by gallery space. Great collection of a wide range of art. Besides it’s got the Steps.
Last time i visited this place with my neighbor and his family.The place was awesome we wander the museum and found it's unique and interesting. It's a good place for both child and young to gain knowledge . Must visit place!!
This is my second visit to the museum. I love the artwork and the architecture. They have lots of large-size objects, rooms, and other features to keep you occupied looking for awhile. I got a kick out of the many people taking pics with the Rocky statue and running up the stairs, but I say if it brings them to the museum for some culture, that’s good. A world-class museum for sure!
So expensive to get in but such a beautiful experience. You can take all day there but parking, entrance fee, restaurants and stores are very expensive. Bring your camera and enjoy the day.
I am an Artist. This place is a great day out. So much to see and learn. The food was good.This is not a playground for children.
This is such a fascinating place! From the rocky statue to the fountain and the sculptures! The artwork and craftsmanship methodically moves a person to the unique and rich history that Philadelphia has to offer! Truly a remarkable place to walk around, explore, and visit. This place is a must see if your in the area. The view alone is breathtaking and beautiful. So much character and architecture to explore and see!
Haven't been to the inside but the outside is great. Even if you haven't watched rocky, it it's a place worth visiting. Nice architecture and nice surroundings. Only issue was the two "homeless" guys (don't think they were) forcing tourists to let them take pictures and charging money (20 bucks for two photos taken with my own phone? Come on. One dollar is more than enough).
I actually went here years ago. I was travelling through Philly by train (great train station btw) and google mistook me being here on this day probably due to the pic I took in the station. The museum however I know to be pretty fantastic and rich in American history. I recommend it highly!
Fantastic museum. Great collections and there is something for everyone. I was really impressed with the architecture of the building and rooms themselves.
The museum is much bigger than I thought it would be. It contains some really great pieces and immersive displays (like entire rooms set up to look like a monastery or the entrance to a Hindu temple). The diversity of their collection/exhibits was also a very welcome surprise. Note: I am a casual art appreciator, not an expert.
If you go to Philadelphia, you will want to see the Museum if Art. It has a vast collection of art spanning a big timeframe. I enjoyed the art of Asia and Medieval time periods the best. The armour was stunning. Some of it is very ornate and intricate. If you are a teacher, you could use many facets of it in your instruction. I didn't get to even see all of it either. Make sure you become Rocky when you start the climb.
The museum was better than most. It had a diverse group of material, including armor from medieval times. Cafe had really good food and was not overly expensive. Overall, it was well worth the trip for someone who isn't a museum person.
Great museum. First sunday of month its pay what you want. Amazing art, rocky steps, gorgeous building. Great park lands near by too n super close to city.
We took our cousin to this museum, wow it was a great experience with all phenomenal art works. Children under 12 are free. For those who is handicapped assessable, remember to use near Kelly drive entrance. The tickets are valid to two consecutive, so nice. We plan to visit there today again since we didn't explore all yesterday.
Felt so close to being in one of the rocky movie when you are climbing up the stairs. I would recommend going right at sunrise to experience it to the fullest. The museum and the architecture inside is beautiful
Love the Art Museum! There are many collections and varieties of artists. Also, I love the Friday after dark events. Membership is also very affordable, so support your local museum!
One of the biggest museum I’ve ever been to. Their arts were amazing and photography exhibitions were beautiful. I can’t believe they have a Japanese tea house and a temple in it too! Love every bit of it.
This visit was partly to see the new North Entrance. It looks great but a tad intimidating. The Museum is a must- go in Philadelphia, I turn up here several times a year. Currently membership is a great deal at $125 for two cards. Consider: $25 per person to get in otherwise
Pretty good. The art that you see there is special. I haven't in other place. I recommend the museum. And every friday in the afternoon they make performance.
First time there. Place was very educational. Worth your time to go and see all of the amazing pieces and things most didnt even know they have. Go, you wont be disappointed.
Beautiful museum! We went for the impressionist and Yoshitoshi exhibit. It's 2 floors, but there is so much artwork we could only do 1 floor in one afternoon, so we definitely plan to go back! They also have super fun Friday night events, and always do special events themed around whatever special exhibitions they currently have!
Absolutely wonderful! We read that the Barnes was the one to visit and you could skip this one. I disagree. This one is worth seeing. it has a terrific sampling of American art, impressionist artists, many of the Masters that you would have to travel around the world to see. Great collection! It has rooms from manor houses in Europe that have been reconstructed in the museum. Also it has a 1400 building from China reconstructed as well as a Japanese room and tea House garden. Regular admission gets you 2 days access two museums including the Rodin, the Perelman and more.
I went to Philadelphia museum with my family and we saw Asian exhibit. We loved the details and intricate work that was done by many different artists through out different centuries. I wish we had more time to see other exhibits but next time we will see more!! But we loved everything that we manage to see!
Had a really nice time. We got an annual membership at the end of last year, and this was the 1st we could go, due to my work. What a nice time. Got a bite to eat for lunch at the cafe, good food nice selection and prices were on par with local area. We went through 2 sections in our 4 hour stay. Can't wait to go back on next day off.
Nice museum, some excellent exhibits. Other areas had lower quality exhibits. Not on par with NYC or other majors. Overall was a nice day.
An amazing little museum that is iconic as it is very humble. Bag check your stuff and get comfortable enjoying all of the art and exhibitions they have avaliable. Be sure to be very careful around the art. It's an amazing experience.
Very cool. Sometimes stupid, like the black square. #hector
Well we just ran up the stairs and saw the Rocky statue. The museum outside is really cool, they will not let you inside unless you pay...not even to use the restroom. I didn't go into the museum but looks like they have a lot of really great stuff.
I love this place, Philly is my home town. I have spent many hours walking this magnificent building. I brought my fiance here as she loves art and is creative. Give yourself at least two days to experience the museum. Truly, trust me, your body and mind will thank you.
Didn't go in. The Rock n Roll Half Marathon ended at the bottom of the steps there.
Expect an awesome day, each exhibit was wonderful, multiple visits, are necessary to take in your thoughts in mind.
PROS: The collections are amazing, representing some of the most well known art by some of the most famous artists. The collections are large and varied; there's plenty to see - too much to all do in one day. The special exhibits are usually of high quality as well, and, though crowded, they are timed (making the crowds more tolerable). Parking is easy because of the parking building in the back. CONS: You will not be disappointed, since there is something for everybody here -but the museum is so large with so many pieces, it is hard to navigate and organize how best to spend the time you do have. The museum should have walking tours, audio tours, or pamphlets to direct guests to key pieces, or key items representative of a certain style, or any variation on theme.
I very much enjoyed this museum. It is slightly smaller than the Met but very well organized. I very much like the Asian and impressionist collections. Putting Islamic, Hindu and Chinese temples together in a line was very creative and beautiful.
A large and majestic museum in the city of Philadelphia, this is home to an amazing array of historical art and antiques. I was enthralled by the special exhibit of impressionist paintings from master artists like Monet, Van Gogh, Renoir, and others. The permanent exhibits of armory and weapons is equally spine chilling and impressive. To observe the sheer size of swords and knives of the bygone era is something amazing. The warriors of medieval ages were definitely strong, fit, and hardworking otherwise it would be impossible to wield these weapons and protect themselves, let alone win a war.
We had fun doing the Kidney Walk with the family. We met Freeway there. See ya next year!!!
Amazing building with some very important pieces of art. In particular I loved the impressionist collection.
I just love everything about this place... Every first Sunday is pay what you want or can day. A must visit place in Philly... Full of life from the steps to each corner inside its immensity...
We had such a wonderful day exploring the museum. The salad bar was great at the cafe. Grilled shrimp over a great salad only ran like 7 or 8 dollars. Staff throughout the entire museum were extremely pleasant and helpful.
This is a beautiful museum with many works from MAJOR artists. It's a must see when visiting Philadelphia.
Running up the steps like Rocky is fun for everyone. The museum is world class!
First time actually going into the museum. What an amazing place! The way they've incorporated facades and even buildings that are centuries old is simply amazing.
This is such a great museum. I love to travel and pop into as many as I can around the world, there is something really special about this Philly Museum. They are under construction for their restaurant, so I was unable to eat there the last two times I went. I’d definitely recommend going, especially if you are only in the area for a few days.
Always love to do a volunteer walk for "Prevention of Suicide" ❤ Patrick Kirby ❤
72 and done....all locals know what I mean... 72 steps to the top aka Rocky steps. Of course the statue, stupid museum moved it to the bottom & off to the side, but you can see Rocky's footprints from where he used to stand.
Remember to visit the Rocky Statue before running the Rocky Stairs. The Masterpieces within are spellbinding. Manet, Monet and Van Gogh to name three. The Artistic layout is open space and comfortable for viewing. Loved it. Want to return.
Beautiful collection. We came the day it was 80 degree. Nice and cool inside. Their cafe is also nice and clean. I would definitely come back for another round. They had 2 special exhibits I enjoyed. Japanese tea house could have been a bit better with presentation. Overall great museum.
Take a few hours to visit this museum. Well worth the time and cost. You will feel inspired and very young even though your feet may hurt.
We were visiting Philadelphia Museum of Art on a pay as you wish day which I think is always a great thing to offer. It is a large museum with plenty to see. We had a great time!
So my very first time at this Museum was incredible. I Performed there!! It was probably the most memorable moment for me thus far. The art is BEAUTIFUL and the staff are very friendly!! The out come of people each so was amazing!! I can't to come back and do this again! THANK YOU
Loved the milieu, coffee shop, clean rest rooms and beautiful artwork. Great place to visit with a group of friends.
Need lots of time to enjoy.....so much to see! Worth every minute.
This place has the most amazing art work I truly was taken back by the beauty of it all. If you want to see such a fantastic Craftsman ship of art and style and beauty this is the place. I was in Awe the whole time. And it's also a great place to learn about things. Although they don't allow cameras to take pictures. If caught they will ask you not to do it. I learned the hard way but hey even I didn't know but now I do. Like they say everyday you learn something new.
Very nice day spent gazing at beautiful artwork! Will definitely come again!
Philadelphia Art museum is incredible place. I love everything about it. Including people work there. They're sweet and friendly ♥️
Very nice and large collection. Had a great time with European and modern aren't. Nice collection of Asian Art too.
Great collection of art, especially impressionists. The kids liked the medieval armor. Huge museum. We went in with a huge discount at the start of the month. I liked how some of the art is almost integrated into the building itself - very unusual.
The impressionist exhibit was spectacular! and it was all works from the Museum itself. No loaners. The japanese woodcut prints were also a great display. In the American wing I was fascinated by Presidential china. And the beautiful furniture. WOW! Thank you for taking me John and Jan!
Nice, open, comfortable location with a fabulous view of down town Philadelphia. Great place for photos. This place is also known as the"Rocky Steps" as this is where the famous Rocky movie scene was filmed. We visited the location in the dark. We walked from down town and back again... safe, clean and well lit the entire way.
Run the stairs just like Rocky. Don't forget the statue off to the side of the stairs. People politely line up to take a photo.
Beautiful inside and outside. Although the art isn’t THAT interesting other than the Asian and Egyptian sections. There’s tons of people hanging out on the steps either working out or chilling in the summer. Amazing view of Ben Franklin parkway and city hall from the steps. The art museum is also in fairly close proximity to Fairmount park. The river trail runs right along the Schuykill river where it’ll hit a skate park right by the museum, a gazebo right next to the museum, this nice outdoor area where I’ve seen people get married and onto boathouse row which will eventually lead to Fairmount Park. Don’t forget to take a pic with the Rocky statue right outside the art museum!!
Beautiful piece of architect beautiful fountain in front of the building the only thing I notice is that it suffers like a lot of buildings in major cities poor funding I guess. The shrubbery and the grasses around the building or in poor shape. The area and the building has such potential.
Great place for a viewing the sunset. The city view looks great from here.
This museum is great!! The exhibits were so interesting. The place is clean and full of art and information. The people are all friendly and well informed. We spent the whole day there and could have gone back the next day. We had brunch at the restaurant inside and the food was exquisite.
Amazing to think that whole Asian reception halls were transported and European parlors recreated. You are literally surrounded by art in some areas to include the archway, ceilings and walls. And to top it off, we caught Pay As You May Wednesdays and a free guided tour.
On the end of the Rocky stairs you will find this awesome museum. Definitely worth the stop!
Lovely Greek Revivalist architecture art museum featuring many antique and sculpture exhibits from all around the globe, as well as beautiful paintings, and some rotating exhibits. Definitely see the 300 year old reconstructed Chinese Palace room! Tickets are only $23 and they get you two consecutive days accesses not just to this museum, but to the Rodin museum and the Perelman art annex. Who knew such an amazing place was attached to the Rocky statue?
Fantastic place with great views of the city. Philly is very scenic.
Easy to (paid) park in the garage then walk into museum. Walk through sculpture garden as well. So much to see so pace yourself. The exhibits are easy to walk though and even though some places are under construction, there is fabulous works of art to appreciate Tips are don't wear a backpack or any large item that you may bump people or back into precious artwork. The very polite staff will firmly suggest you wear your backpack in the front of you. This includes big purses. No walking around with a beverage or your snack. There is a well stocked cafe and restaurant to have refreshments. I had a great time!
Inside this great building with classic forms there is a magnificent collection of works of art. From its entrance you can see magnificent views of the urban center. But, above all, on its stairs is where Rocky Balboa was trained, a mythical film place.
I am amazed at the craftsmanship and artwork people were capable of centuries ago.
Good museum to visit. It may not be as expansive and contain as many famous historical artwork like other ones, but it has enough to offer. You can view artwork from different time periods around the world. I like the sets built to reflect the time period.
My experience of impression's eye and other exhibition were very good. However, I have to say that one staff that worked for the Japanese exhibition that closes to the impression's eye was very rude. And I felt like she was racist. Before we came to the exhibition, we asked the lady in front whether we can take photos and her reply was YES but no flash. Of course we followed her suggestion. We were standing in front of a picture and describing it (Yes, we have east Asian background and knew the content quite well). One lady showed up and asked us not to put our hand close to the picture rudely. I would say our hands were at least 30cm away from the picture and we have no intention to put them forward. This was so embarrassing and awkward even one visitor tried to comfort us. Interestingly, we were the only two in the exhibition that were told like that. We even noticed another young lady put her head extremely close to the picture, but this lady chose not to stop her. Very disappointing.
Spent three hours here, well worth my money !! So much to see make sure you stop here.
Love this place! Was surprised by the collection!!!!! They have actual artifacts and whole buildings from other countries reconstructed in the museum. Or should I say the museum is constructed around artifacts. Incredible! The cafe had good food reasonbly priced!Wasn't impressed by their modern art collection. They have issues with their elevators. Waited over 30 minutes for one. If you have mobility issues or a stroller, then be prepared to wait or only have limited access.
Give yourself time to visit the museum... Beyond the copious amount of photo opportunities surrounding the museum. The museum does not stay open that late so plan accordingly. Speaking of which, you cannot visit the gift store, cafeteria, or restrooms, without first paying admission. This is where you want to get your Rocky pictures outside and then go interpret some Picasso inside. Have fun, take advantage of your visit. The pathways leading from downtown to the museum is about a 1.25 hour walk with casual stops along the way. Public parking is generally free on Sundays!
This place is filled with wonderful hands-on exhibits. It can be enjoyed at any age. I went with my 5 month old baby, my wife, my mother, and my grandmother, and we all had a good time. My baby enjoyed the stimulating visuals, and my grandmother didn't want to leave. I myself felt like a kid in a candy store and was disappointed by not having the time to see all the exhibits.
It reminds me of Greece with those steps and colonies. I think they have an interesting impressionist gallery and surrealism section. I like the artworks of Venice. Not so many sculptures, but they are nice. Your ticket will include entrance to the Rodin museum, which is not so far from the museum of art. They have a nice dinner section below down. It's a nice place to visit.
Good diversity of exhibits. Satisfying, grand interior. Like a mini MET.
Loved it! Fantastic collection of art. Phenomenal job of displaying the art Especially loved the Asia art collection.
Must visit spot in Philadelphia!!! Lots of great arts with different subjects, contemporary and modern including Vangual ,Picasso ,Monet ..... Also American art, early Europium , the India temple recreation just unbelievable, they even have a Japanese tea house, I’m a huge art lover, Philadelphia art museum is one of the most inspiring one . Recommend to come on Thursday do a two day tickets, they often has concerts on Friday, if buy the ticket on Thursday, you get to go the concert and to Rodin museums also for free, 3in 1 for only 20 /adults What a deal ! For small budget, come on Wednesday night is pay as you wish , also a good chance to explore the fine arts, for 2-3hr, but if you got the time , this is the money worth to spend!!
Had to check out this place with the everlasting Rocky influence. I was very surprised to see a huge line just to take a picture with the Rocky statue. Although I did not go to the museum that day due to the long lines, just being outside and enjoying the views was more than enough. I wasn't in Philadelphia long, but this is probably one of the best views of the Philadelphia skyline.
This could possibly be one of the most beautiful and cleanest art museums ever. The exhibits are extraordinary and so well maintained. I spent pretty much the whole day here because there is just so much to see. I will definitely come back again in the future.
One of the best museums in the world, their collection is vast. Great works of art by renown artists. Some of the newer pieces I wouldn't consider art but that's just the times we live in. But either way beautiful for the most part.
Exceptional attention to detail on each gallery and piece. Entire structures (rooms, buildings, ceilings) being recreated add an extra touch to this museum. Of course, some of the best artists throughout time have their work displayed here. Must see
Most beautiful adventure I've been on in a long time. Please visit this place
Pretty good art collection but the "attendents" that stand in the rooms act more like bouncers at a club guarding the door than the helpful friendly caretakers of the museum that they should be. Some were friendly but most were either half asleep or standing there with an aggressive unfriendly stance. What a shame.
The museum is absolutely beautiful. It's a great place to gather with friends and family and even to complete a workout.
Go early on first Sundays and enjoy without paying full price (Go anytime if you have the cash)
Very large was absolutely stunning. Took almost half the day to just explore a good portion of the museum. There were plenty of exhibits that would be pleasing to look at and had great deals for students. Definitely not a place you can just go for two hours as you’ll need the time to fully take in all of the exhibits. Was very clean and beautiful.
Lots of things to see and tons to explore! An absolute steal on pay as you wish nights if you like art. The Philadelphia Museum of Art has a wide collection of art from around the world. They have exhibits dedicated to Asian arts, Europe, medieval arms, and American history.
Fantastic museum. The tour guide was fabulous and so informative!
Even though the ground floor is closed due to construction, the Philadelphia Museum of Art is still a world class museum. I was there with a group. We were given a private tour of their current show revolving around the Impressionists. Our document's program was most interesting. The theme was "Through the eyes of the Impressionists".
Good for art lovers. Well behaved and welcoming staff. There some good stuff to see around this place too.
Lots of cool art, big gift shop. Let you take photographs (no flash of course). Nice staff.
The Philadelphia Museum of Art is a fabulous museum. The permanent collection has some great pieces as evidenced by the exhibits that are bright together from within the museum as well as special exhibitions that are really fantastic. They are currently renovating parts of the museum so I look forward to seeing what it looks like when they are complete. If you live locally in Philadelphia and enjoy at museums, I would highly recommend a membership as it also allows access to the Rodin Museum down the street and also access to other museums across the nation. Parking is available in the deck behind the museum and is underground. Very convenient.
Great installations and it's a very nice building, the layout didnt make much sense to me but the flow through the buildings was pretty good. There are quite a few smaller rooms hidden in the back of other rooms and quite a few dead ends. Altogether they have an excellent permanent collection. I have added some of my personal highlight photos to this review
very beautiful place..well maintained.lots of varieties of collections and beautiful arts which is really shows modern and ancient world art collection.highly recommended place around philly area.still can fit more arts like some of the museums in chicago.still great place to visit.
The Philadelphia Museum of Art is fantastic! Take the time to read the captions and you will discover and learn so much. Beautiful artwork, stunning statues, amazing artifacts, and Rocky Balboa. I was there for 3 hours and didn't see everything so plan on a longer tour if you are going to read the captions which will greatly enhance your experience and enlighten you. The Spinx, Africa, Mexico, and Central America will be added in November.
It's the existence of institutions like these that prevent against the modern coarsening of culture.
An awesome experience Wednesday night. The museum closes at 9 on Wednesday, and it's nice to be able to enjoy the area in a less crowded manner. Walking being able to enjoy wine (which they serve) and see thought provoking ancient works and exhibits is an experience I didn't realize I needed. They also seem to have yoga classes which is something I hope to try next time
great collections in beautiful halls. Artwork displayed is sometimes surrounded by contemporary antiques giving context to the works.
The museum is huge and a beautiful place to spend some time. I do not understand a lot about art but I love museum in general. Everything is very good organized and you can find yourself easily. The rooms are numbered and there are a lot of staff everywhere if you have any questions. Very good experience!
I love this museum so much. Incredible art, architecture, and artifacts. The staff are always incredibly friendly and helpful too. Definitely check out pay-what-you-want nights on Wednesdays
We happened to be in Philly on the first Sunday, which lets people pay what they want - great bargain! We immensely enjoyed the special exhibition of impressionist paintings. Afterwards, we wandered around other areas and also explored the sculpture garden. If pressed for time, I'd skip the sculpture garden. Easy to spend a day here.
Great place to visit had very interesting art and different exhibits to see inside.
Have visited multiple times, happy with the displays and lighting. Great selection of Modern and Contemporary works on view. Found a few surprises, would spend an afternoon exploring here again. Artwork on view seems to be in good condition and security is strict, but fair.
Absolutely gorgeous. It took us about five hours to go through all of it. I really enjoyed the surrealist Salvador Dali's painting, I wish they had more by him. I believe they had a very nice assortment of artwork over all of the various time periods. Definitely up there with one of the nicest art museums I've been to. Highly recommended!
A super Art Museum! We were not disappointed. It has something for everyone. Selected works of art from throughout the ages. Each piece of art was First-Class.
Very nice place to visit. The weather was just perfect for walking around the grounds. There’s so much to do around this area. This is an iconic sightseeing must in Philly. I can’t wait to return.
This Museum is an Awesome one to see, can't wait to Visit again, one of the best, go visit and see for yourself!!
As always the exhibits were spectacular. The docent was well informed and offered interesting side comments.
Excellent museum. A great collection of Money, Gauguin, Renoir and many other post-impressionist painters. Other fantastic exhibits as well. Tickets are pricey but First Sunday of the month is free. Admission also valid for the Rodin museum nearby. Very much worth the visit.
So so so many famous artists and their work are featured here. The building itself is a masterpiece, along with the parks surrounding it and the crew houses along the Schulkyll. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the security is top notch for the preservation of the space and the atmosphere! I come here like once a month to escape from the world for a bit and I have never been disappointed!
Every time we go to Philadelphia, we love it more and more. The museum is one place we can't get enough of. We became members because we want to be able to expose our grandchildren to art and culture. Every event we attend is better than the last. And we can't say enough about the staff. Their love and passion for their work and for the museum itself are contagious. Their knowledge is impressive and boundless. Our only regret is that we didn't become members sooner!
Fabulous exhibit of Impressionism. Very impressed with this museum. Definitely worth a visit.
Really enjoyed my visit here! Especially the European and modern art showcased! Definitely a 2-day visit is NEEDED!
Great collection. Very wide ranging. Since really big installations. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
A must see when visiting Philadelphia. If you want to see the Rocky statue you will be at the door steps of the museum. Definitely two must dos. Not mention two of the best picture opportunities in Philly. Every time I get back we try to visit. It is also the location where the Eagles ended their Super Bowl parade and the iconic Jason Kelce speech took place. Hungry dogs run faster.
This was a fabulous museum and we had a fabulous tour of impressionist art. The collection of ancient armory is something to behold. The number of unique permanent exhibits is something that must be on your list. The Philadelphia museum of art has too many great things to miss.
Amazing place to go for outing with your friends and family. I was shocked to see their collection of art and historical stuff. The atmosphere was positive and joyful. Also the part of this place was music shows and good arrangements for children and aged peoples.
Beautiful, make sure to give yourself an hour or so to see each exhibit and painting. We skipped the modern art, but the rest was exceptional.
Absolutely one of the best spots in Philadelphia, don't miss this museum if you are in the area.
Beautiful and massive museum only a short walk from Logan Square. Of course it is famous for the Rocky movie and there is a statue Rocky about it off to the side. However, the line was so long that we felt it wasn't worth it. We took a picture from a little distance away and moved on. The huge fountain out front is also quite a site to see. Climbing the steps up to the front doors was quite an experience. The staff was also very friendly and professional. If you're going to Philly, this place is a must stop.
Wonderful collections. I was there with a school group and the museum staff did an outstanding job working with us. We were welcomed and accomodated by friendly and helpful people. Our guide encouraged the students to notice details and piece ideas together in exciting ways. I only wish I had had more time to explore more of the exhibits. Will have to return.
Amazing collection and friendly staff. Thoroughly enjoyed my visit and got to see some pieces I never thought I'd see in person. Lovely to see everything up close and not behind glass too. Would love to go back and spend more time.
Very nice place to get out of the heat. Parking is right below the museum that's very convenient. Although the price is $24 to park if you validate in the museum it's only $14 and prices for the museum max out at $20. With a student ID you can get a ticket for $12 so total it was only $26 for the whole museum.
Absolutely wonderful museum. The unfortunate thing about my visit was that I went at the end of the day. 2 hours is not nearly enough time for me. The upstairs area was my favorite part. I'll need to try again soon.
Beautiful architecture and the Rocky's statue is the most visited tourist place around the city
The Philadelphia art museum is absolutely beautiful. Exhibits are great and people working there are all very nice and helpful. The ice cream truck outside with that loud monotonous music almost ruined a beautiful evening. I was going to stroll the grounds but headed out for the nouse was unbearable
Had a wonderful experience visiting here with my dad & I. As a complete art novice, I learned allot (definitely recommend getting a group tour). Don't know exactly when but I believe on Friday evenings there is a live musical performance on the main stairs.
Did The Impressionists' Eye, a special exhibit. It was very good and the free guided tour was awesome. Also, The American Wing is well worth it. Includes history and culture illustrated through paintings, sculpture, porcelain, silver, glass and pottery.
I went to see the Rocky steps on a business trip and had a good time the art around the museum was amazing I would love to go back soon and visit the museum because what I did get to see looked awesome. It also looked like they where doing some updates to the exterior of the building. I would like to see what they plan on adding next.
A very fascinating place. The museum is huge and beautiful to spend some time with. Everything is good and well-organized. They had a very nice assortment of artwork. There were plenty of exhibits that are pleasing to look. There's so much to do around this area!
Great displays of art and history! Definitely worth checking out!
Gorgeous entrance from the North. Coffee shop beautifully located. Loved it all
The Philadelphia Museum of Art is an art museum originally chartered in 1876 for the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. The main museum building was completed in 1928[6] on Fairmount, a hill located at the northwest end of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway at Eakins Oval. The museum administers collections containing over 240,000 objects including major holdings of European, American and Asian origin. The various classes of artwork include sculpture, paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, armor, and decorative arts
Love this gem. It's in the prettiest area of Philly, so you can make a full day out of right where you're at without getting into your car. Great exhibits as well.
It’s $20 for adults and $18 for seniors. This art museum has no escalators. Please understand. Enjoy your tour.
This museum is wonderful. It's clean and the staff very friendly. We even had lunch at the cafe and the food was really good. Just remember that there is a lot to see so make sure you have plenty of time to see all three floors. You have to climb 72 stairs to the entrance but its not that bad. Rocky ran up them in Rocky 1. You also have the statue to the right that you can take a picture with.
Very impressive museum. Only disappointment was the lack of Van Gogh paintings available for viewing during the impressionist exhibit. However, the other collections made up for it. I definitely recommend coming with your friends & family. It’s breathtaking!
This is really really very beautiful museum..... Risa was our museum tour guid.. she is so talented and passionate about her job... she made us to connect with every art and depicted story behind it beautifully...
Great place to visit. There is a nice park right behind the museum that was made out of the original water works reservoir and a very nice trail with scenic views.
We did not enter the museum but there is a lot to see outside the surrounding areas. Of course the Rocky statue was a stopping point but it had a lot of people waiting in line. Very cool views at the top of the steps.
Having grown up with Rocky movies it was really cool to visit the "steps"
I did not get time to go inside but there are plenty of things to do outside. If you are a selfie lover then you can easily spend an hour taking pictures around. Don't miss out on picture with Rocky Balboa.
This is a great museum with world renowned art pieces that few know are in Philadelphia. They also do a lot of supplemental programs. Parking is free in the area on Sundays. Overall, this museum is an excellent collection of different art styles.
