Highlights Tour

At Barnes Foundation

Center City, Philadelphia

"I've been to some of the best museums in the Western World and there is nothing like it"
"Modigliani, Renoir, Matisse, Cezanne, and 7 Van Goghs!"
Large bags go in free lockers, plan accordingly

Why is that Matisse next to a Pennsylvania Dutch hinge? A docent-led hour decoding Dr. Barnes's famously eccentric wall arrangements, with time to wander the collection before and after.
