Beautiful! I’d love to go there myself one day.
One of the world’s greatest museums, and one of the things I really miss about New York.
There is a great documentary calls The Art of the Steal, about how the Philadelphia political machine basically confiscated the art from the Barnes trust so they could build a fancy museum downtown. I think it is available via Netflix streaming...

Great photos and commentary. Thx for sharing.
What camera did you use? Without flash?
Very nice! Thanks for posting. I went through the National Gallery of Art about 3 weeks ago, for the first time since I was about 6, and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Even with the surly security guards at the front who forbade me from wearing my little black rucksack. I could carry it, but not wear it. Sad that such crabby people work surrounded by such beautiful stuff.
US American art is so stooopid. (sark)
My family and I were there today(thursday). Saw the whole first floor and the european painters section of the second. Van gogh is by far my favorite. Have to see the rest next time.
Frederic Edwin Church did some great stuff.
