This art and architecture tour will highlight the great cultural treasures that made Philadelphia National Geographic Traveler's “Next Great City.” In addition to the impressive holdings of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Barnes Foundation, and the Rosenbach Museum, we’ll enjoy a special behind-the-scenes Vault Tour of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the nation’s first art museum and school of fine arts. Other highlights include gallery receptions, visits to studios and private collections, plus a tour of the historic Old City. We will also meet local artists and Wellesley alumnae, longtime residents of the area, who will share their passion for this extraordinary city. With a lovely centrally located hotel, expert local guides, and the Wellesley touch, there’s never been a better way to discover the special charms of Philadelphia.
