Philia Museum

I love coming here when I'm in the area. Theres always people here too and they always just happen to be in a great mood. When I have my dogs with me, I definitely bring them. They love running up and down the steps. Tires them n.v out for me. 😉 I love that this place is always clean, has nice views and events every so often. We went after the Aids walk one time and it was great.

I have been going to this museum since I was a little girl and I have loved taking my son over the years! This is a great museum with lots of rotating exhibits. It is also huge so you can go many times and still find new things! We love everything about it but especially enjoy the rooms that are built like replicas of historic sites from different cultures.

The different futures exhibit is excellent! Design, ethics, science, and art collide to bring a brilliant array of pieces that excite all 5 senses. The north entrance is coming together well, but still covered in spots with tasteful scaffolding. Recommended as a trip for the family, alone, or with a friend!

I've been to this museum several times in the past, and am always taken away by the buildings architecture both inside and out, as well as many of the art exhibits. I find most of the art exhibits there to be really impressive, and I am a somewhat hard person to impress when it comes to art. While they do house many temporary exhibits that you need to pay extra to see, the permanent exhibits tend to amaze me far more. A few highlights I'd like to give to this museum are the restored mid-century rooms recovered from throughout the world, and the thematic displays based on countries throughout the world. Lastly, I heard the museum is currently undergoing renovations and adding floor space. However, I have to commend the museum and the architects redesigning the museum for redesigning the museum in such a way that stays as true as possible to the original architecture. You rarely see that in most places in America these days.

My all time favorite piece of art is Ossawa Tanner's 'Annunciation.' Realizing it is at the Philadelphia Museum of Art made my trip. I like to sit on the floor in front of it and just enjoy. It's in a back corner in a room where few wander...so I can stay for a long time with it.

This is a pretty neat museum. All of the exhibits are well maintained, well guarded, and well organized. You'll find lots of the typical 'modern art' pieces, as well as some that are more accessible to non-art people. There area few pieces that are interactive, but most things are 'do not touch'.Although most of the items are paintings, there are also tons of sculptures, and entire rooms on display. Would go again.

This is by far the best museum I've even been to in my life. There is a fantastic mixture of art across cultures, centuries, and styles. This is a must if you're visiting Philadelphia. The third floor is especially breathtaking due to the massive architectural displays. I also found myself captivated by the armory, which I hadn't known was part of the museum. This expansive collection is well worth the price, and even comes with a two day pass.

Been to well over 100 museums around the world. The Philadelphia Museum of Art was an absolute surprise. What a hidden gem that should be known as one of the world’s best museums to visit. Situated in an accessible area of the city. People were friendly, helpful and quite knowledgeable. Thing that really stuck out was how immaculate this museum was. It did not have a spec of dirt or anything out of its place. This place clearly has top quality management. Great job team!

I am not really an art museum kind of guy but I had a few hours to kill and this is right next to the Rocky steps. I did learn a few new things visiting and saw some amazing works of are including the sunflowers which I did not expect. The new exhibit, is a little creepy and is hard to understand but sure looks cool. Staff was friendly and helpful, bathrooms are small but in good working order and water fountains are drippy. Overall a good experiance but a one time thing.

Great spot. The current Monet collection is unbelievable. If you spend enough time time in that room I’m sure it’ll bring tears to your eyes. One level is under construction but there is way more than enough to see without it. One of the most fun, and always my favorite, parts about the museum is the shop. There are two shops located on different levels and one is purely relevant to a STEM (ScienceTechEngineeringMath) exhibit that’s going on but it just means the items are even cooler. Check them both out. These are always the places I forget about when it comes time to getting a birthday or holiday present but always has exactly what you need!

I loved this as a kid and i love it as an adult. We like to bring paper and pencils to sketch the art. The medieval armor is intriguing as is the tea house and temple. I personally find the folk art and historic furniture compelling - although my kiddo usually rolls her eyes at this point.

I live in DC so I'm used to free museums but I have to say, the Philadelphia Museum of Art is well worth the admission price. Your ticket will also include other galleries like the Rodin Museum and the Barnes Collection and be valid for two days.I was amazed at the art on display and how close you could get to it! There's a whole room for Ellsworth Kelly! The hallways are even gorgeous.It's also fun seeing everyone run up the Rocky steps and pose by the statue.It's a must for all art people!

One of the must visit places when you are in Philadelphia. This museum includes notable art and cultures not only of Western world but also of Asia. One day won’t be enough if you wish to see all the notable paintings, sculptures or the photographs that are in the museum. Also, don’t forget to take a picture on the Rocky statue in his unique style. Be prepared to be in a line as this place is mostly crowded with visitors. Every Wednesday and the first Sunday of month are pay as you wish days for the museum entry. Also, they are offering two day pass so that you can fully enjoy the museum’s facilities.
