Description:

Discover more than 3,000 masterpieces at the Barnes Foundation, known for its post-impressionist and early modern art. See works by Renoir, Cézanne, Matisse, Picasso, Modigliani, and Van Gogh as well as African sculpture, Native American jewelry, and Pennsylvania German furniture.

The breadth of the Barnes collection is truly amazing. The collection is arranged in ensemble, structured according to light, line, color, and space—an arrangement based on the principles of founder Albert Barnes. You may find a 15th-century Flemish masterpiece hung next to a Picasso, which is just the way Dr.Barnes meant it to be. This offers the opportunity to compare and study works from various time periods, geographic areas, and styles.

The collection is housed in an award-winning building, designed to offer a seamless experience between the gallery and the garden. Take some time to investigate the art library, have a coffee in the garden restaurant, and take in the picturesque landscape. Awestruck is just one of the many words that come to mind to describe your experience among this world-renowned collection.
