The museum has expanded! Art lovers, time to visit this museum when you are around Philly. A good news indeed for those who love photography, sculpture, fashion and textiles.
The Ruth and Raymond G. Perelman Building was added, which was the first expansion of the museum since it was opened 80 years ago.
The building was renovated costing to $90 million in public and private funds. Its interior features a skylit galleria that links the existing structure to a 59,000 sq. foot addition. There are four main galleries; a high-ceilinged space for sculpture, a gallery for works on paper, space for modern design, and a gallery for customes and textiles.
With the new expansion, the costume display can expand to more than five times its original size.
It's worth visiting for the art lovers, don't you think?
There will be a minimal admission fee to visit the Perelman Building alone. If you prefer visiting the whole museum, you have to pay at least $14 - to cover entrance to both buildings.
Enjoy the various displays of art! :)
