I had a great time there recently. It is a very small sister to the larger museum across the way. I saw an exhibit about art as fashion and it was fabulous. I just became a member so I had to go back to the main building to get that active which honestly was no problem and I should have known that was the case to begin with. The Perelemen is a gorgeous building with an outdoor feel indoors because of it being galleries stitched together with glass. It was I believe the second time I had ever been there and I grew to love it even more. It is perfect for one who gets overwhelmed by the scale of a larger museum. It was a nice afternoon and not a long and growing tedious day.

I love museums. This was about $50 - $60 for 2 with parking but includes 3 museums. I really appreciate art and history. Great for a date, family or by yourself. Staff were friendly and well.... I had a great time.

I find great exhibitions at the Philadelphia Art museum. Your day pass is good for 2 days between the Main and Perelman building and the Rodin Museum. Pay as you wish first Sunday of every month.

Loved it...Souls Grow Deep Exhibition was AWESOME. Went to both buildings and was impressed with the (non- art history) staff and their knowledge. A beautiful day.

Home to wonderful special exhibits, this extension of the Philadelphia Museum of Art adds to what already is a world class art museum. The building itself is stunning.

I saw 2 terrific exhibits: a fantastic collage show with a gorgeous Romare Bearden, and work by African Americans from the South which includes Gee’s Bend quilts and some sculpture. Both were well curated.

Its got art. Almost like Instagram, but in real life. But instead of adding my like to thousands of others, I could only share my opinion with my wife.

So I went there for a school trip to check out some drawings. It was pretty cool and interesting. If anyone wants to see more of a certain artist or style i recommend checking this place out. You can call and set up an appointment.

I had to go through all kinds of changes to get into the museum on my Mobility scooter as I was deterred from going in the designated door. Once I was in, moving around the place was easy, and I really enjoyed the Souls exhibit. There was much to do for children which made it feel somewhat like a waste of time and effort.

Not too amny exhibits were open, but the ones that were were extremely well put together. I noticed that the descriptions and background texts on the walls were uniquely well written, which made it a pleasure to read everything.

Would like to see more diversity. The exhibits are very eurocentric. We went to see the Asian exhibit which was very informative and tucked away in the back.

The buiding - an extension of and just across the road from the Philadelphia Museum of Art - is impressive but feels rather empty, unlike the museum itself which is packed with fascination and is worth many visits.

Had a two day pass to the Art Museum and spent the second day at Perelman. Very interesting building (art deco bank originally) with exhibits to match. An easy walk from the main building.

First class all the way throughout the building and displays.Excellent guides to answer questions and keep visitors from getting too close to the precious priceless art. A must see and is worth the admission fee.

Masterpiece location! Such great collection of special exhibitions. A modern look to arrangement at the building. People miss this attraction of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, but its worth to visit it too!!

Great annex to the main Art museum. Not as many people so it feels more personal.

Dont miss the eclectic, niche design exhibitions that come to Perelman. We have been pleased when we take the extra walk over when visiting the Art Museum.

Im not really sure what to make of this place. Its definitely a offshoot of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, but the displays in there seem like theyre probably transient. And the choices that were made for the displays confuse me. It seems like a few high school projects that would put on display. There were displays that had very good ideas, and wanted to convey a message, but only told half a story. But the staff was friendly the building was clean, and I dont have any complaints about that.

Nice little museum with more abstract, contemporary exhibits. Admission is included with the Philadelphia Museum of Art ticket. Two floors and doesnt take more than 30 mins.

The utterly in-crowded annex to the Philadelphia Museum of Art is a real treasure. If you bought tickets to the PMA, use them to get in here for free. Youll be so glad you did.

Nothing much to see though they have some interesting stuff to see. Im looking forward to attend some exhibits they do often....closer to Art museum and the ticket includes entry to this museum too is a bonus

The building is really nice, but there wasnt a lot going on in this building. It wasnt even really worth the effort to walk over from the main building. I think we were probably in and out in 30 minutes or less.

Great works of art from Indian artists and influences as well as some contemporary exhibits. The tickets arent cheap though, about $20 for non members. Definitely a difference from the free museums of DC.

Unless you are into boxing, and enjoy seeing old photos of boxers, there is no need to go to this museum. There is also a tiny room upstairs that contains a textile exibit. It was so small and unimpressive, I wondered who thought those pieces were worth showing.

Bo

Loved the 60s cultural exhibit as well as textile graphics!

Its worth it if you go to the main building and get this one for free. The current African art exhibit is lovely but small. I cant imagine paying for it by itself
