The art collection here can best be described as an embarrassment of riches. The collection is amazing and second to none. The rooms and walls are laid out as Dr. Barnes had originally displayed them. This meana a tremendous quantity of works in close proximity. It's certainly a shock compared to any other museum. The good news is they are able to display the entire collection in a smaller space. Some people, however, may find this overwhelming and detracting to the experience.

They have great learning opportunities between hourly tours and sit down short lectures/discussions during the day.
