Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia

The Philadelphia Museum of Art, located at the west end of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park, was established in 1876 in conjunction with the Centennial Exposition of the same year and is now among the largest art museums in the United States. Originally the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art, its founding was inspired by the South Kensington Museum (now the Victoria and Albert Museum) in London, which grew out of the Great Exhibition of 1851. It is known locally and colloquially as “The Art Museum.” The museum opened its doors to the public on May 10, 1877, originally housed in Memorial Hall. While the location was adequate, it was isolated from the bulk of the city. There are lot of vacation trips options around.
