Philadelphians! 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!

Couldn’t cover it all in one day but you won’t be disappointed with what you can see

Beautiful view when you reach the top of the steps that Rocky climbed!!
