Philadelphia Museum of Art II

The Museum, known locally and colloquially as "The Art Museum" was

established in 1876 in conjunction with the Centennial Exposition of the

same year. Construction of the current building began in 1919 and the

quasi-Greek Revival design was produced by Horace Trumbauer and the

firm of Zantzinger, Borie and Medary. The institution describes itself as "one

of the largest museums in the United States"
