July 9, 2014

The entrance of The Barnes Foundation
The grounds....
The Still Lifes of Paul Cezanne are currently on exhibit until September 22, 2014
It includes 69 works by Cezanne.
In addition to the Cezanne pieces, the Foundation houses 181 works by Renoir, 60 by Matisse and 44 by Picasso.  van Gogh, Degas, Corot, Seurat, Monet, Manet, Goya and El Greco also have pieces of their art on display.  
The Barnes Foundation was established in 1922 and is named after its founder, Dr. Albert C. Barnes.  
There are a total of 23 galleries divided between two floors.  
Hours:  10am - 6pm
Admission:  $22/adults, $10/students, Free Children 0-5
Tip: Free admission is offered on the first Sunday of every month.

Verdict:  This is an impressive museum with many works from many famous artists.  And I'm sure it is a Must Do for artists and art enthusiasts alike.  But for me, who is neither, while a beautiful museum I can appreciate, it is NOT a must-do before you die!
