Pennsylvania academy of the fine arts Reviews

PAFA is on my top 10 places to take visitors who enjoy innovation and the arts. If you have a Free Library card, you can check out a daily pass for a free visit to the museum .That's how I discovered PAFA. I was so impressed that I now get an annual membership. They celebrate women artists and are dedicated to exploring multimedia and multicultural themes. They change exhibits 4 times a year, and talks are free with a membership. The museum is accessible to public transportation-just a few blocks from City Hall. These photos are from a collaborative exhibit with Scholastic, celebrating top high school artists in the U.S.

I remember taking my first class here, art of the jest. However now I return to see our beloved clown mascot gone? And now we are barred from entry when wearing our makeup? It s like I took 4 years of intermediate/advanced juggling for nothing

What a gem, inside and out! The Landmark Building's Neogothic design is breathtaking, and the permanent collection is thoughtfully curated. I was also very impressed by the student work in the adjacent building. This is my new favorite cultural spot in Philly.

I love this museum because of the architecture, and of course the art inside. I also love that it supports the fine arts for others to learn. :)

Temple students get in for free! Cool place with interesting pieces. There's no particular order to where the pieces are, it's all kind of in the same place. There's currently a theme they have going called "Swarm." Their gift shop was great too.

This is a wonderful museum that has modern art as well as more traditional paintings and sculptures. The older building is such an architectural treasure that it s with visiting the museum.

The modern gallery and exhibition was not to my liking, although this is only my opinion. The old building on the other hand featured some more appreciable pieces. Either way, the staff was friendly and kind.

Free admission on President s Day, the day we visited. This art museum is spacious, neatly laid out, and well-curated overall. The World War I and American Art exhibition was of particular interest, showing the public response to the war and what life in the battlefield was like, especially for those who experienced it first-hand.

Stayed for two hours, which was enough to see all exhibits on two floors.
