About
Description
The Barnes Foundation, located in Philadelphia, is dedicated to promoting education and the appreciation of fine arts and horticulture. Founded by Dr. Albert C.
Barnes in 1922, the institution offers diverse educational programs based on his teachings and features a unique collection of impressive artworks. Dr. Barnes, a passionate art collector, amassed a remarkable collection of impressionist, post-impressionist, and modern paintings, including notable works by Renoir, Cézanne, Matisse, and Picasso.
In addition to these masterpieces, the collection also includes African masks, native American jewelry, Greek antiquities, and decorative metalwork. Dr. Barnes believed in the transformative power of art and was a strong advocate for progressive education and social justice.
He created an innovative approach to teaching known as the Barnes Method, which emphasized close looking, critical thinking, and prolonged engagement with original works of art. Today, the Barnes Foundation continues to fulfill Dr. Barnes's educational mission and operates in Center City Philadelphia.
It offers a wide range of programs, including free art appreciation classes, special exhibitions, public programs, and adult classes. The institution also prioritizes diversity and inclusivity by providing community and family programs throughout the city. By supporting the Barnes Foundation, you contribute to research, conservation, and the presentation of exhibitions and events.
