The Barnes Foundation
Between 1912 and 1951, Dr Albert C. Barnes acquired works of art from some of the most "daring artists" of the time Paul Cezanne, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Chaim Soutine and Vincent Van Gogh. Formerly in Merion, Pennsylvania, The Barnes Foundation has been reborn in a sparkling new museum on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, the first addition to the city’s prominent Museum Mile in six decades. Its outdoor gallery garden is a unique feature and it also joins up with the Rodin’s new garden next door.
