About
Art lovers and history buffs alike will feel at home here. The Philadelphia Museum of Art began as a legacy of the 1876 Centennial Exhibition, with Memorial Hall serving as the original venue. Today's iconic building on Fairmount opened in the 1920s and drew a million visitors in its first year. You might recognize the steps from "Rocky," but inside is world-class European and American art.
The museum offers free wifi, and the Fairmount neighborhood is walkable. Hours vary: closed Tuesday and Wednesday, open late Friday until 8:45pm. For a deeper dive into nearby collections, consider pairing your visit with The Barnes Foundation just a short walk away.
