With more than 200 galleries and 250,000 objects, make sure you make time to see it all!
Fantastic collection, very diverse, great modern art, and lots of galleries and special events for kids.
Opening May 2012, this controversial museum hosts some of the most rare and incredible art you'll ever seen. The collection will be displayed in almost the same way as the original Merion gallery.
Please make a reservation in advance. The galleries are usually sold out the day of. & expect to wait in a queue if you come mid afternoon. & be nice to the staff:-)
Sketching is NOT allowed in the galleries.
Check out the art in the little gallery on the entrance landing. My favorite art in the city.
With local, national, international and classic titles, you'll never get bored with the selection. Special guests and galleries every First Friday. Stop by and take a picture with the giant Hulk!
Fantastic location. Both the staff and the wares are much better than the Willow Grove branch
Be sure to check out the Gallery Café for a snack, or better, a light lunch. The space is sleek and the fare is tasty.
Great food at the Gallery Cafe (tomato bisque was unbelievable). Discount for PMA members
Enjoyed all the exhibits here in my first visit. Worth a visit if one still has the energy after walking the main hall.
Every 2nd Thursday all the first floor galleries are open from 6 - 9 pm!
See a show in the Icebox Project Space
This is a dark, open warehouse. Poor lighting, no tables, chairs or real bar. Death trap when you pack over 200 people into the so called "ice box room". Only one exit,
Best gallery in the city! Make sure to check out Lawren Alice's work!
Fantastic art space, great events and shows, and great owners. Bonus: the most gorgeous red couch you've ever seen. Take a selfie with it.
Dr Sketchys!
Live music, local vendors of art and literature, and free admission to a handful of private galleries make this Philly institution a monthly must
Amazing!!!!
Sphinx is in the upper gallery.
Check out the mummy lab, just off the ancient near east galleries.
One of my favorite museums! Love their Egyptian collection, they have the most piece of any museum even more then the MET - and I love the location- great afternoon trip and cool even for kids
Newly renovated, this gallery now has much more exhibition space - one of Philly's premier commercial art galleries!
The exhibits are always interesting and the staff is incredibly helpful. Small and intimate gallery perfect for a day in the city.

This historic mansion is home to contemporary multimedia art exhibits and unique public programs. The tavern out back is great for cocktails!
Try the art. It's exquisite.
What else can you say about Isaiah Zagar? He's a magic (gardens) man. The fun, funky Magic Gardens includes a fully mosaiced indoor gallery & a massive outdoor labyrinthine mosaic sculpture.
It's a cool place to wander around and get lost for a while. Amazing artwork and mosaics.
It may only be a 3,000-square-foot plot of urban land, but there's a lot to see. Reclaimed trash mosaics, mirror and tiles make this one hidden gem.
