  • OK collections, rude and pretentious guards
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/12/09
    The collections are OK, compared to other well-known museums in the world. The guards are the rudest and the most pretentious museum guards I've ever encountered in any art museums I've visited. They were acting as if I was going to steal or cause damage to the collections (I am 5'1" tall petite woman). At one point, one of the ...

  • Not the Getty!
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/20/09
    If you have a few hours to kill in Philadelphia, this may not be the place to spend it. Okay, I have been spoiled by the Getty in LA. (where the exhibits are amazing and the admission is free) I entered the museum to see the Cezanne exhibit and was told I would have to wait 4 hours. The museum was free that day, but not for Cezanne. That would be ...

  • Beautiful
    By LaurelB, 11/12/07
    I went to see the Renoir Landscapes exhibit. One word: breathtaking. Can't wait to spend more time in the museum. I also at lunch in the cafe. The food was great. The service was less than stellar, though. The gift shop was filled with unique works of art you can take home. I'd encourage any art lover to pay the museum a visit.

  • Birds Eye View of Downtown
    By David, 09/06/07
    The fountains and statues are simply gorgeous. The area surrounding the entrance to the museum is a must see for anyone visiting Philadelphia.

    A photo op with the bronze statue of Rocky, then a walk up the famous steps from the film. They have the spot marked, at the top of the steps, and you can look upon an absolutely breath-taking panoramic ...

  • Artsy and HUGE!
    By First L, 07/13/07
    My husband and I have lived here all our lives and never tried the Art museum until this year. It is huge and there is soo much to see. I became overwhelmed and uninterested by the second floor. They could make it more kid friendly so that you could bring younger ones and try to help them find interest in art. Overall it was ok - could have had more interesting exhibits.

  • I LOVED IT
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/03/06
    I really liked the tesoros. They were really good. You should see them sometime. While you're waiting you should see the Rocky statue that is there.

  • The eye of the tiger
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/05/06
    I am not an art buff, so I must admit the only reason that brought me to the museum is, you guessed it, Rocky! Not surprisingly, there are individuals running up the steps, hands raised triumphantly, as they imitate Rocky Balboa's famous run. This spot is also the perfect place for wedding photos, because of the spectacular view of the diagonal ...
