Related: About this forumPhiladelphians! Please advise me on which museum to visit (I can only visit one)
As you know I am a serious art history writer and I love art museums. I have only ONE day (a Sunday) to visit your wonderful city's art museums. Should I go to the Barnes or the Philadelphia Museum of Art?
I'm going with my husband who has a B'nai B'rith Conference there the first week of September.
Please advise!
Thank you all!
