Local Learning: Art

By, Rachel Nisula, Art Teacher

 

Looking for something to do this summer? Consider taking a drive to one of the many amazing art museums in our area! Here’s a few great ones from Ms. Nisula…

 

The Philadelphia Museum of Art

One of the best art museums out there, with art from all over the world and all different time periods. It  is currently featuring an Impressionism art exhibition through August 18th.

 

The Barnes Foundation

A really unique museum with a huge collection of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and Early Modern paintings from some of the most famous artists (think Picasso, Van Gogh, etc.)

 

James A. Michener Art Museum

The Michener is a wonderful museum in Doylestown showcasing artists local to the Philadelphia area. Walk right across the street and see some historical artifacts at the Mercer Museum.

 

Woodmere Art Museum

Similar to the Michener Museum, the Woodmere focuses solely on Philadelphia’s artists.
