You could travel the whole of the United States and still not find a finer art museum than the one in Philadelphia.

Even the exterior of the Philadelphia Art Museum is beautiful, with its classical styling and its open courtyard and fountain.

The museum was first opened in 1877, though it didn't yet have its own building. The construction on the current building first began in 1919 and took over a decade to complete.
