A beautifully illustrated introduction to the Philadelphia Museum
of Art’s encyclopedic collection  Philadelphia Museum of
Art Highlights presents more than 500 remarkable works from the
museum’s collection, featuring superb reproductions with concise
supporting texts that give readers an understanding of the
significance of each. A fascinating tour of objects from around the
world and throughout history, the 2023 volume has been revised and
expanded to include recent acquisitions, incorporate new research,
and increase representation of women artists and artists of color.
In addition to addressing the historical evolution of the
museum’s collections and looking at how major gifts of the last
decade have both added to the collection’s core strengths and
broadened the collection’s scope, the introductory essay includes
discussions and illustrations of the architectural contributions of
Julian Abele and Horace Trumbauer, as well as Frank Gehry’s
recent expansions and renovations to the museum’s main building.
This is a vital resource for anyone interested in one of the
world’s most storied museums and its extensive collection.
