Philadelphia Museum Of Art, 3

I really thought I could do the PMA in two swell foops, but, alas, there's just too much good stuff...

Continuing the chair theme, here's another, by Charles Rennie
Mackintosh. for one of Glasgow's tea houses

Lovely art nouveau stuff all around

Munch, Alpha's Despair, 1908; screaming?!

Renoir, Aline Charigot, 1885; eventually Madame Renoir



Another later Monet experiment: Pointillism (sort of), all just
little dots...Bend in the Epte River Near Giverny, 1885

Among the Hicks Peaceable Kingdom paintings (he did many)

Conscientious museum

Among the extensive Americana

Ditto

Hicks, Noah's Ark, 1846

Drexel, The Drexel and Gallagher Families, 1825



Huge collections of silver

Drawing Room Suite by Benjamin Henry Latrobe

Benjamin West, Benjamin Franklin Drawing Electricity
from the Sky
, 1805; note Franklin's statically-raised hair...

Copley, Portrait of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Mifflin, 1773...
just before he emigrated to England; we'll see a lot more 
Copley in Boston


Benjamin West, Agrippina Landing at Brindisium with the Ashes
of Germanicus
, 1770



Among several rooms of furniture, painting, and more; we still love
Old Brown Furniture



1733 Map of British North America

Exiting through the gift shoppe...who comes to this museum
to see the Rocky crap?

Parthian shot from the Uber...great, great museum!
