This venerable institution claims the distinction of being America's oldest art museum, and its first art school.
In Short
The museum occupies a delightfully ornamented building by noted Philadelphia architects Frank Furness and George Hewitt. The collection leans strongly toward American painting, and is weighted toward realism. From the dour 1822 self-portrait of the museum's founder, Charles Wilson Peale, to the delightful, nearly abstract, light-drenched California landscape by Richard Diebenkorn, the Academy offers a remarkable overview of American art.
