    The Philadelphia Museum of Art sits at the top of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in a neoclassical…read morebuilding that earns its iconic status before I even walked through the door. The famous steps are there, the Rocky statue is at the bottom, and the view back down the parkway from the top is genuinely one of the better urban vistas in the city. I found the collection spanning four floors and covering an extraordinary range of periods, cultures, and mediums in a way that never felt like a forced march through history. The curatorial logic organizes things roughly by time and place, which meant moving through the galleries had a natural progression to it. One room I was standing in a fully reconstructed Japanese teahouse, the next I was looking at French Impressionists. The arms and armor collection on the third floor was one of the more surprising highlights and held its own against the paintings in terms of sheer visual impact. The tapestries, medieval galleries, and decorative arts sections added further depth that a lot of visitors skip by gravitating straight to the name paintings. The Impressionist collection is strong throughout. Van Gogh, Monet, and Picasso are all represented at a level that rewarded my visit even though I have seen major works elsewhere. Seeing them in person rather than in print was a different experience entirely. Starting on the third floor and working my way down was the approach that made the most sense logistically and contextually. The museum is large enough that a single visit will not cover everything, which is actually a mark in its favor. Admission cost is required for most visits, though periodic free days do come around. For a world class art museum that does not feel overwhelming to navigate, the Philadelphia Museum of Art delivers.

    I feel confident is saying this is the most beautiful building in Philadelphia by leaps and bounds…read moreabove the rest. The care taken to the architecture and design is just superb. Maybe I'm biased, but this is truly one of the most gorgeous museums in the world. It's also huge and sprawling, so one day of exploring isn't nearly enough to see it all. There's something for everyone, from modern day contemporary photography to centuries old paintings and ceramics. There's also plenty of workshops for kids that can help them engage their creative side. The museum also has pay-what-you-wish admission every first Sunday of the month, so I highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already. A staple in Philly, and for good reason!

He was so welcoming. I was so glad because I had so many questions !! I really walked into this place knowing of only The Thinker. I was so happy to find out that there was a guided tour today! Her name was Patricia and she really had such a passion and extensive knowledge for Rodin! We looked at all the pieces on the inside, first which was pretty wise because we were introduced two characters, we were going to see in one of the largest pieces outside! One of the largest pieces inside is called the kiss. You can't miss it. It's white a couple is embracing.. The guy took us outside and showed us where that couple is also featured in the big door. But this time they're not kissing -they're having a different experience together. It really goes through all the struggles one may have in life, the ups and downs. Twisting bodies. It was delightful to learn!! And Rodin also had ups and downs. We also had a chance to hang out and sketch a little afterwards! I bought some postcards ! What a wonderful collection I now own. There was a pride and groom, getting their picture taken in the garden, outside. It really is a beautiful space. It's nice to explore all the grounds. It's easy to do. I'm very thankful for all the wonderful staff that took care of us so well. Thank you for making such a delightful trip to see Rodin's wonderful art. I would definitely come back !!!

There is so much to see in one day that one could spend the whole day there. We managed to arrive just in time for a show in the planetarium, which was beautiful with plenty of relaxing seats. This is just outside of the LEGO exhibit where visitors can explore building various things. Down the middle of the institute is a giant pendulum swinging and knocking over some pegs over the course of 24 hours. Other exhibits include space, engineering, body mechanics, etc. Plenty of things to observe and read about, but also many interactive exhibits making it fun for kids (of all ages). All of us enjoyed the giant human heart that you can walk through to explore the various ventricles and atria. Most memorable for me was watching Child #2, who sits still for nothing, be absolutely entranced by the live demonstration of a dissection of a cow's eyeball. He thought it was the coolest, and the guy giving the demo was very patient with all the kids who came up to ask questions afterwards. For anyone who likes Science, this is an absolutely fantastic place to come explore!

And then a week before my trip, I found out that it would be 55 degrees and raining on Memorial Day Saturday. I wasn't going to flush $60 down the toilet. I thought about indoor activities that I could do in Philadelphia. And then I remembered that one of the episodes of Abbott Elementary took place at the Franklin Institute. I decided to check it out. Overall, I was impressed. The museum is divided into sections based on a specific theme. My favorite section was the space exploration section. There were many exhibits about the universe and advances in space exploration technology. Even if you're not into science those exhibits will pique your interest. Another section of the museum is about human anatomy. Since I get disgusted easily I passed. There was also a section of the museum about mechanical engineering. That wasn't really interesting. My favorite part of the museum is a giant steam engine at the basement. It is so freaking huge. It's bigger than an Amtrak locomotive. In addition to exhibits, the museum has various 20 minute science demonstrations. I watched a demonstration in which a very funny female scientist used a bunch of chemicals to create fire. There's also a liquid air show and an electricity show (I didn't have time to watch those. I will return to the Franklin Institute the next time I visit Philadelphia). In addition, there's a show about dissecting animals (I don't recommend that). $29 is a bit steep, but that's to be expected at a major museum in a big city,

The staff was really nice as we arrived a few minutes after our allotted time on our purchased tickets. I struggled with the tightness of the space. Many specimens required me to squat which may not be possible for other guests. There is so much to see but it's in such a tight space, specifically the first floor. Many of the glass cases were also warped which was not easy on the eyes. The museum has great potential if everything was spaced out more. Given that the space is tight, one felt rushed to read everything because there were other guests shoulder to shoulder trying to experience the space. If you were ever into Ripley's Believe It or Not, check the Mutter Museum out, plenty of unique cases! I felt queasy at times seeing real specimens floating in jars. The pharmaceutical marketing room was intriguing, I love seeing ads from the past!

Before going home I sat on the verandah, imagining what it must have been like to live there. The museum is dedicated to the art of Philadelphia. I was captivated by local artists I never before heard of. One of my favorites is Edith Neff. (See the swimming pool painting I posted.) The photography exhibit with works by Harvey Finkle, captured the humanity of political and social justice movements. It resonated with me. And then there's the children's gallery. The current exhibit, "Walk in the Rainforest" was created by young artists, and runs through October 27th. The museum is relatively small. Take in the architecture and the beautiful chandeliers, which I guess are original to the house. Docent-led tours are available and the museum hosts "Friday Night Jazz," with tickets available on line.

We got here on a nice sunny day and there was plenty of parking on site. Inside, there's some twist and turns and cool exhibits in each direction. It's a small museum that you can definitely spend a few hours in. We got here when one of the visiting artists was giving a presentation - so cool! His works were on display in the main gallery and it was great to hear his story and also chat about his work. Definitely worth the hike out of the city for a little art and culture within the woods! Enjoy!
