Building, Museum, Art Gallery, School

First established in 1922 by Albert C. Barnes, the Barnes Foundation has breathed new life into the Philadelphia museum culture. The Barnes mainly holds Post-Impressionist and early Modern paintings with a myriad of works by Pablo Picasso, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Henri Matisse. In addition to paintings, the Barnes Foundation also carries original African sculptures, Native American ceramics, and antiquities from the Mediterranean. The Barnes Foundation is free on the first Sunday of each month for all visitors.
