Private Collection Tour

At Barnes Foundation

Center City, Philadelphia

Reviewers recommend taking a guided tour to understand the distinct scientific and aesthetic arrangement principles behind the gallery displays.
Visitors note that large bags and coats must be checked downstairs before entering the exhibition rooms.

Dr. Albert C. Barnes arranged his extensive holdings according to unusual visual relationships rather than standard chronology. Visitors to the Barnes Foundation attend a private, one-hour tour exploring these collection highlights with up to nine guests.
