Overview
There are over 2,000 masterpieces in the museums' collection, including 19th- and 20th-century French paintings, African art, Native American pottery and jewelry, Pennsylvania German furniture, American avant-garde painting, and more.
The Barnes Foundation's personal and expanded collection from Dr. Barnes contains iconic works by artists like Vincent Van Gogh, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Amedeo Modigliani, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Chaim Soutine.
Dr. Barnes began his collection in 1912 with the goal of curating “the greatest modern art collection.” The displays are constructed with a focus on visual similarities among objects, like light, line, color, and space-universal principles that encourage visitors to “see as the artist sees.”

Excellent!
Anne S. ·So nice clean fancy friendly and a great value for us
Surprised
An art Fan ·I had heard that a Philadelphia had great museums, and The Barnes proves this. The thoughtful Japanese artist Exhibit reminds us how much we as a society benefit from our multicultural culture. The collection of Impressionists is impressive. The American artists are well rep resented too.
Worth the visit
Anonymous ·Very good collection of arts from Renoir. It feels really nice to immerse in the much description next to paintings.
Vast collection of art!
Anonymous ·This museum houses a vast collection of largely impressionist and post-impressionist works. The vast majority of the paintings in the collection consist of Renoirs and Cezannes. But also includes are some Picassos, Matisses, and even a couple paintings from old masters like Franz Hals and Reubens. If you are interested in these artists or art in general, it is definitely worth a visit!
Not a top 10
Noelle D ·So many on the bus tours said “must see” but it reallly wasn’t that special to us. It was nice to see, but not a top 10 spot.
Excellent
Mel w ·Excellent art museum. Not too big. Easy to see everything
