Philadelphia Museum of Art


As indicated in my previously posting, we stopover in Philadelphia to visit the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (PAFA) and the Philadelphia Museum of Art on our trip south to North Carolina. It rained most of the three days we were there, but not to worry in the museums it didn’t brother us!


The Philadelphia Museum was featuring "Picasso and the Avant-Garde in Paris" Exhibition. I’m beginning to appreciate modern art more; I guess the more I learn the more I can appreciate all art. We plan to be in NYC in May and we just might take in the Metropolitan’s exhibition of Picasso, which will feature over 300 works of the Museum’s collection of Picasso’s paintings. Should be really interesting.



Thomas Eakins, The Agnew Clinic, 1889.
As I indicated in my previously posting, we were unable to see The Gross Clinic painted by Eakins in 1875, but this one is great also.

One of the galleries that Jenny like a lot. Beautiful tapestries.
