Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts Historical American art museum

118-128 North Broad Street Philadelphia, PA 19102 +1 215 972 7600 http://www.pafa.org

In the 19th century, the Academy was the American equivalent of the best European art schools. A host of genres and mediums from the most prominent names in American art are constantly on display, with new pieces rotating their way into the collection. Some of America's best artists either taught or were students here, including Thomas Eakins and Mary Cassatt. The building itself is a work of art designed by Frank Furness, an influential 19th-century American architect. Admission: $7 adults, $6 seniors (62+) and students, $5 for children (5-18).
