Always love the Philadelphia Museum of Art - great for families with older children. We took the free tour this time and it was very informative and we learned many things we didn't know. Kids will love the Asian art, as they have some actual temple pieces erected. Also the armory is a big draw. My personal favorite is the... More

Fine ARts museum-lovers should not miss this. It has wonderful collections (most of them assembled in the 1800's, when Philly ruled), well-displayed...best of all, it is never crowded and you can get nose-to-nose with the objects. Serene, rich, and not to be missed. More

Exhibits range from ancient Egypt to classic Impressionists and modern emerging artists. The Friday evening programs are wonderful (music, art, hors d'oeuvres). Parking is easy and free for museum members. Special events, like the current VanGogh exhibit, are often crowded and usually require... More
