Philadelphia Museum of Art :: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Founded in the 1870s, the Philadelphia Museum of Art that most visitors are familiar with today was actually constructed in the early 20th century. The original gallery at Memorial Hall was part of the Centennial Exposition of 1876 (the first official World’s Fair) and lies about two miles west from its current location across the Schuylkill River. When it was first built, the intent was to highlight the technical and industrial arts of Pennsylvania with a specific emphasis on educating future generations via their school (thus the original name Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art). It quickly came to garner additional attention as a center of the fine arts as collections and donations to the museum improved.
