Why Go
Albert C. Barnes collected one of the world's greatest holdings of Impressionist and early modern art, including 181 Renoirs, 69 Cézannes and 59 Matisses. He hung them in 'ensembles' mixing paintings with African sculpture, hinges and keys, and his rules require them to stay that way. The galleries recreate his original rooms inside a modern building on the Parkway.
