Great architecture, great art, highly recommended to art/architecture enthusiasts.
Mary Jenkins
Fabulous 19th and 20th century art, plus extensive African sculpture and other art. Quirky arrangements, but very rewarding to see. Don't miss this museum.

They don't tell you until you have paid and entered that without a smart phone there is nothing next to the painting telling who the painter was or anything about the painting. Great masters but poor display.

10/10/2022. I never imagined seeing so many works of art together. Renuar, Monett, Picasso, El Greco, Matisse, Cesanne, Van Goght, Titian, Tintoreto, Modigliani….and the list goes on. I recommend going with time to visit some rooms, rest in the restaurant or in one of its gardens and then continue to fully enjoy so much display.

I have to make presumptions in answering your question. I'm presuming that by "best," you mean least busy. Based on that, I would advise early Friday. I have to say that even the weekends are quite manageable. It's a great museum, a crown jewel in Philadelphia.
In addition to all that Samuel said, the Barnes' arrangement of art can interest all levels of art appreciation. A child can sit in the room and try to find "all" the similarities between the pieces selected for that room (the triangular shape of the lady's hat in the painting is like the one in the ancient door hinge, the vase, the woodcarving... O, and the mountains and such in the other paintings.) The museum has the feel of relaxing in your rich uncle's sitting room until he returns. The Philadelphia Art Museum didn't start with the same history nor ever have the same intention. The Rodin is also a great place, located a short walk towards the Art Museum.
Yes, head downstairs is a locker set for bags and a place to check coats.
No

Yes, I brought snacks with me and sat on their outdoor patio! They also have a resturant

If it is, then they are not doing enough promotion. It's an amazing collection! It should be at the top of the list for everyone. I saw it in its original location & will be returning for the 1st time to the new location this week.
The first Sunday of every month is always free. Those with Access cards are admitted free.
There’s never a shortage of awesome things to do in Philadelphia— but there are some things you just can’t miss while you’re here. Whether it’s running like Rocky, refueling with a cheesesteak and then wandering along Boathouse Row or touring Independence Hall, devouring a roast pork sandwich at Reading Terminal Market and then visiting an amazing museum on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, these are the experiences that make our city stand out among the rest. The Benjamin Franklin Parkway, The Franklin Institute, The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University, Ruth and Raymond G. Perelman Building and Art museum. For an iconic Philly experience, visit the corner of South 9th Street and Passyunk Avenue, where rivals Geno’s Steaks and Pat’s King of Steaks feed the masses daily. Independence National Historical Park, and guided tours are available year-round. Free, timed tickets are required and can be picked up at the Independence Visitor Centerbut plan ahead — tours fill fast!
