The permanent collection and exhibitions at the Pennsylvania Academy, Broad and Cherry Streets, Philadelphia, focus on American art. The building itself is an excellent example of High Victorian Gothic architecture and has been restored to its 1876 appearance.
Its collections include works from the ancient world (Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, and Rome) as well as Meso-American, Native American, Polynesian, and African works.
Alice Bampton is the subject librarian for Art History and is available for research consultations, instruction, curricular support & purchase requests.
