Martha Lucy, the Deputy Director for Research, Interpretation, and Education at The Barnes Foundation, will be discussing her book, The Barnes Then and Now. This insightful volume delves into the history of The Barnes Foundation, founded by Albert C. Barnes in 1922, and its mission to democratize art education. The foundation's unique approach, including a progressive education program and unconventional art collection installation, set it apart from other institutions of its time. The event, taking place at Barnes & Noble in Philadelphia on May 16, 2024, will examine how the foundation's century-old mission continues to evolve in today's cultural landscape. Lucy, a specialist in 19th-century French art and co-author of Renoir in the Barnes Foundation, will shed light on the institution's early years and its ongoing commitment to social justice. Attendees will gain insight into Barnes's collaborations with influential figures like John Dewey and Violette de Mazia, as well as his contributions to the reception of African art in the United States. Don't miss this opportunity to learn about the Barnes Foundation's rich history and enduring legacy. The event is free to attend, so mark your calendars and join us at Barnes & Noble, located at 1708 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103.

I have to say that the Penn Museum is also a No. 1 museum. The exhibits are rich, unique, and academic. In particular, the Chinese national treasures in the Asian Pavilion are moving... The consulting service is also very satisfactory. The Egyptian Pavilion is under renovation, but some of the cultural relics have been merged into other pavilions. The national treasures of Mesopotamia in the Middle East and the Mayan Aztec civilization in New America are astonishing. There are really piles of ancient Greek and Roman cultural relics. The underground special exhibition even has an introduction to the U2 aircraft incident in 1960... In short, the Penn Museum is worth the trip!

I feel that the attractions in downtown Philadelphia are really excellent. The historic sites near the Liberty Bell are under the unified management of National Park. Opposite the Liberty Bell is a large visitor center where you can consult Philadelphia&#39;s travel guide. The staff and volunteers here are also very enthusiastic to help give travel advice and answer consultation questions. There is also a small souvenir shop here, where you can buy refrigerator magnets, notebooks, postcards and other related Philadelphia souvenirs.

There are also exhibition explanations in the visitor center. Although it is relatively miniature compared to the museum, it still does not affect the number of tourists here. If you come by car, there is a parking lot in the basement of the Independence Hall Visitor Center for everyone to park. Although parking in the city center of Philadelphia is not very convenient and parking spaces are not easy to find, it is recommended that everyone park in the underground parking lot of the visitor center. If you come during the peak season, you need to apply for the ticket to the Independence Hall at the visitor center first, but I don&rsquo;t know if it is because of the epidemic. You don&rsquo;t need to take a ticket when you come, you can go directly to visit.

Philadelphia was once the capital of the United States, so there is plenty of history, museums, monuments, and sites around the city. The Philadelphia Museum of Art boasts a nice array of exhibits. I visited on a Friday evening after work because museum admission is free Friday evenings (pay what you wish). I did pay for parking at their garage, which was only $5.

Independence Hall

A great piece of US history. You can easily spend a very informative afternoon roaming its halls and learning more about the declaration of independence.

Liberty Bell

Needless to say, the reputation of the Freedom Bell naturally feels like the Independence Palace can become a must-check place for Philadelphia attractions, as if every time you come to Philadelphia, you will also check in ritually. The two are also very close. Walking across the road is that the exhibition hall is open to the public for free. There is no need to buy tickets. The Independence Palace needs to book on the official website in advance. The ticket reservation fee of 1 yuan. The Free Bell has a separate exhibition hall, and the entrance needs to be checked. You can visit up close, you can walk to the free clock, you can surround 360 degrees before, but this time only opened 180 degrees, the other half stopped, but this advantage is that you can unlock a background free clock. The Liberty Bell was originally a palace in the Independence Palace, but was later displayed in the memorial on the lawn due to the cracking of the bell body. This time, the display stage at the visitor center was empty to another point of knowledge. When it arrived in Philadelphia in 1752, it first appeared a crack, and after several repairs there were cracks, so it was abandoned. And it was the clock that struck on July 4, 1776. The free clock has also experienced several migrations. Although the location of each relocation is not far away, people are still worried that there will be more serious cracks. They have also installed a microvariable displacement sensor that can test the movement of one millionth of a meter to test whether it is suitable for relocation. Every tour seems to unlock different little knowledge points, which is probably a great pleasure to travel.
