The Philadelphia Museum of Art is one of the largest public art galleries in the United States.

A:The Philadelphia Museum of Art is such a large museum—and its collection so wide-ranging and varied—that it would take days (or weeks) to fully immerse yourself in its offerings. Instead, set aside half a day to see the galleries that interest you most—and plan on a follow-up visit later.
