One of Philadelphia's most prominent and beloved connections to Paris sits along the Ben Franklin Parkway inside the Barnes Foundation.
Founded by Dr. Albert C. Barnes, the Barnes Foundation is an educational and cultural jewel on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
And, among the 12,000 square feet and 4,000 works of art is an unparalleled collection of French art. A letter from Barnes in 1925 depicts his hard work with him writing that he's been working in the gallery practically every day and night while rearranging the collection. An appreciation of the works untouched as well as fresh perspectives with this summer's Matisse and Renoir exhibition can be seen in the Roberts Gallery. It features one of the most iconic pictures in the Barnes collection: Matisse's Joy of Life which was highly controversial for its color in 1906.
