An annex to the Philadelphia Museum of Art , this building features special exhibitions as well as its own collection. The Perelman is a gorgeous building, so if you’re in the area, check it out.
PMA tends to overshadow the Perelman, but I've found plenty of interesting exhibits here. If you're checking out the museum , ask what's on display here and visit
After a wonderful day at the Art Museum head up to the North Star Bar for Great Food and Happy Hour with half off select draft beers and out if this world 25 cent wings ( 5 - 7 everyday )!
Enjoyed all the exhibits here in my first visit. Worth a visit if one still has the energy after walking the main hall.
Great food at the Gallery Cafe (tomato bisque was unbelievable). Discount for PMA members
Small museum , but very well curated exhibits

The new turkey pot pie is incredible, best pot pie I have ever had. - Justin Radke
