The Barnes Foundation

Comment on Facebook

The Barnes Foundation was established by Albert C. Barnes in 1922 to ''promote the advancement of education and the appreciation of the fine arts.'' Currently located in a 12-acre arboretum, the Paul Cret-designed Gallery houses one of the world's largest collections of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and early Modern paintings, with extensive holdings by Renoir, Cézanne, Matisse, Picasso, Rousseau, Modigliani, Soutine and de Chirico, as well as Old Master paintings, important examples of African sculpture and Native American ceramics, American furniture and metalwork, and antiquities from the Mediterranean region and Asia.
