Philadelphia Museum of Art
Philadelphia, United States
The Philadelphia Museum of Art is one of the largest art museums in the United States, founded in 1876 in connection with the Centennial Exhibition held in Philadelphia. Its main building, a monumental Greek Revival structure on Fairmount at the head of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, opened in 1928; the long flight of steps leading up to it became widely known after appearing in the film Rocky.
The collection numbers more than 200,000 objects spanning many centuries and cultures, with notable strengths in European and American painting, arms and armor, and Asian art. Among its Dutch-related holdings is A Lady Playing the Guitar, a period copy after Johannes Vermeer.
