1904) The Barnes Foundation
 

Join us for a private tour of The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, held during an exclusive members-only period before the museum opens to the general public. Led by a specially trained docent in small groups of ten, this intimate one-hour experience explores highlights of the world-renowned collection and delves into the history of the foundation. You will learn how Dr. Albert C. Barnes amassed his legendary art collection and discover the meaning behind his unique “ensembles”, the distinctive, symmetrical arrangements of artwork and objects on the gallery walls. Following the tour, you will have free time to further explore the museum and gift shop before heading to lunch at the nearby Gran Caffè L'Aquila, known for its authentic Italian cuisine and artisan gelato.
