Our museum was the first in the nation whose target audience was families with children seven and younger. We have grown into one of the best children’s museums in the nation, have become experts in play and have had our programs for under served families in the region nationally recognized.

Barnes in 1922 to "promote the advancement of education and the appreciation of the fine arts." Located in a twelve-acre arboretum, the Foundation is home to one of the world's largest collections of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and early Modern paintings, with extensive holdings by Picasso, Matisse, Cézanne, Renoir and Modigliani, as well as important examples of African sculpture. The Gallery and </B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B><U>Arboretum</U></B></FONT><B> are open to the public ( </B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B><U>reservations</U></B></FONT><B> are required), and courses in aesthetics and horticulture are available through the education department. </B></div> <div> <B>Giorgio de Chirico, </B></div> <div> <I><B>Portrait of Dr. Albert C.

He also studied chemistry and pharmacology at the University of Berlin, and at the Ruprecht-Karls-Univerität in Heidelberg, where he befriended German scientist Herman Hille. </B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="159"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="455" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="159" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <bR> <div> <B> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="763" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER HEIGHT= 77 WIDTH="110"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="77" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="110" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER WIDTH="646"><div> <B>Back in America, Hille and Barnes developed a new antiseptic silver compound, Argyrol, and formed the firm of Barnes & Hille in 1902. In 1907, Barnes bought out his partner and in 1908 established the A. C. Barnes Company in Philadelphia. The success of this endeavor provided Dr. Barnes with a sizable fortune. </B></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <bR> <div> <B> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="763" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER HEIGHT= 211 WIDTH="458"><div> <B>Barnes's extensive personal studies in psychology, philosophy and art - particularly his reading of John Dewey, George Santayana, and William James - led him to form his own theories about art and education. Combining his educational concepts and his compassion for the working man with his burgeoning interest in the arts, Barnes initiated educational seminars and hung paintings by William Glackens, Ernest Lawson, and Maurice Prendergast in his Argyrol factory to be studied and discussed by his workers. His first formal classes in art appreciation were held at the factory for the benefit of his employees. </B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER WIDTH="298"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="211" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="298" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="763" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER HEIGHT= 249 WIDTH="534"><div> <B>Barnes hired the noted French architect Paul Philippe Cret (architect of the Ben Franklin Bridge and the Rodin Museum) to design the Gallery and attached residence (now the administration building), which were completed in 1925. He commissioned bas-reliefs by the sculptor Jacques Lipchitz, and tile work using African designs and themes by Enfield Pottery and Tile Works, to adorn the building. </B></div> <div> <B>By 1929, Barnes had sold his company and devoted himself full-time to the Foundation and collecting art of all types. He chose and arranged the works in "wall ensembles" in the Gallery to illustrate for the Foundation's students the visual elements and aesthetic traditions he felt were evident in all art forms across periods and cultures. For the rest of his life, Dr. Barnes worked relentlessly to expand his collection and further the educational work of the Foundation. </B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER WIDTH="222"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="249" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="222" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <bR> <div> <B> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="762" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER HEIGHT= 173 WIDTH="758"><div> <B>Barnes was particularly noted not only for his collection of Modern art, but also for his early and vigorous collecting of African art. While his contemporaries collected African art as examples of "primitive" cultural artifacts, Barnes was outspoken in his view of African art as a major art form that was at least as aesthetically important as other major art movements and traditions. As a child, Barnes had attended African American camp revival meetings with his mother, who was a devout Methodist. It was at those religious retreats that Barnes developed an appreciation for African American culture, especially music and creative expression. In addition to collecting African art, Barnes was seriously involved in African American social and cultural issues, and supportive of African-American artists. </B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER HEIGHT= 135 WIDTH="758"><div> <B>In 1940, Barnes purchased an 18th-century farmhouse in Chester County, Pennsylvania, which he named "Ker-Feal," or, "House of Fidèle," after his favorite dog. He added onto the house while maintaining the original center section, and filled the house with antique furniture, American ceramics, and other decorative objects. While the Barneses used the house as a weekend retreat, Ker-Feal was also intended, as Barnes stated in his will, as "a living museum of art and as a botanical garden to be used as part of the educational purposes of The Barnes Foundation in both the art and horticulture programs." </B></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <bR> <div> <B> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="762" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER HEIGHT= 341 WIDTH="758"><div> <B>In 1940, Laura Barnes established the Arboretum School to provide students of horticulture, botany and landscape architecture the opportunity to study under top-notch teachers and work directly with living plant material. Arboretum School teachers have included professors from the University of Pennsylvania and other noted institutions. John M. Fogg (1898-1982), professor of botany and dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania, taught at the school for over sixty years, and served as director of the Arboretum from 1966 to 1979. Providing a wide range of botanical study material, the selection of plants in the Arboretum is also guided by such aesthetic concerns as form, texture, and color. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>                               Online - Please use our secure</B><A HREF="https://secure3.iexp.com/secure/barnes/email_request.html" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="https://secure3.iexp.com/secure/barnes/e"><U><B> </B></U></A><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="https://secure3.iexp.com/secure/barnes/email_request.html" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="https://secure3.iexp.com/secure/barnes/e"><U><B><U>online reservation form.</U></B></U></A></FONT><A HREF="https://secure3.iexp.com/secure/barnes/email_request.html" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="https://secure3.iexp.com/secure/barnes/e"><U><B> </B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <B>Fax - Please download our </B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="http://www.barnesfoundation.org/r_forms.html" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="http://www.barnesfoundation.org/r_forms."><U><B><U>printer-friendly form</U></B></U></A></FONT><B> and fax to (610) 667-8315. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>If you have a question regarding your reservation, please e-mail us at   </B></div> <div> <B>                                              </B><A HREF="mailto:reserve@barnesfoundation.org.
