Discover a variety of styles and techniques in the Museum's superb collection of nineteenth-century and Contemporary art.

 

During America’s “Titanic Times” (1876-1917), American industrialists and entrepreneurs, longing for the prestige and status of Europe’s old wealth, used their new riches to purchase art that now fills our museums with Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces. They also supported progressive artists, such as Pennsylvania’s Eakins, Sloan, and Glackens, who painted the elites’ portraits while idealizing and romanticizing America’s urban poor. This tour will introduce you to America’s arts of that era -- both traditional and new, though not yet modern.

 

From medieval architecture to rare treasures from various parts of Asia, this tour promises to stir the imagination.
