Excellent location! Had live jazz band singing and making beautiful music! Outdoors on grass was pleasant! Social distancing and wear a mask! Must attend the museum doon!
Fish museum is an excellent way to educate yourself family and friends on Modern culture and current Society situations. It the scale is perfect for a family and the Student Art Exhibit is beyond any comprehensive recovery Xzibit Ive seen today. I recently celebrated 2 years alcohol-free. God bless.
My four year old had a blast climbing on the giant hay bales.
Was very surprised at the entire room dedicated to addiction. Very awesome experience.
Excellent museum! Must attend! Bring children and grandparents!
A wonderful local art museum with great accessibility/affordability to students. The exhibits are always thought provoking and relevant. I prefer the Woodmere to other art museums in Philly because of its small size, you can take in every piece without rushing.
Wonderful Victorian mansion converted to a museum, dedicated to local artists, with many cultural events. The director, Bill, is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the arts. Definitely a museum to visit with the family. Plenty of parking and beyond the must see ongoing exhibits a historical site with incredible architecture and a history worth learning.
Beautiful exhibits, and very friendly staff.
Such a wonderful gem of an art museum. I used my Free Library experience pass to visit the museum but I would pay to go back. Its a neat space inside and out and the staff is extremely friendly and excited to talk about the venue. Cannot wait to go back!
Its a small but beautiful and interesting place with a very good gift shop. I have seen several great exhibits there.
Beautiful sculpture garden, very kind staffsIn particular, Woodmere Art Museum has many wonderful American artists artworks including latest artworks up to 2018 as well as a section designated for students; very nice collections. Impressive!Quiet and beautiful inside and outside...If they sell coffee for the garden and sitting area would be perfect in my opinion.
Great little gem of a museum.
Small venue but packed with plenty of art displays. Every exhibition features artists from Pennsylvania. So, Woodmere museum also serves as a place to discover or learn different aspects of the city! Great place to visit on any occasion.
The museum has convenient parking and easy to get to. I went with my grandkids,10,5 and 3 yrs old. We enjoyed the various artwork done by local children and adults. They played themselves tired in the hay maze. Looking forward to new exhibits.
Woodmere Art Museum is truly a Philadelphia treasure. It is rich with history and a place that celebrates Philadelphia area based artist both past and present. And It’s true gem.....Violet Oakley’s The Building of the House of Wisdom! Truly stunning from an artist that needs to be known by all!
They cater to Black folks when it comes to their Jazz friday nights!
Woodmere Arts Museum at 9201 Germantown Avenue Philadelpia PA is an awesome place for Exhibitions, programs, Music and Event.On the eve of Christmas Collections we have visited in a chill & drizzling evening to enjoy the Exhibits in the Museum by regional artists : Lovely Lively display in a very big Wall canvass...excellent workmanship.Hand crafted Jewellery, some textile material and ceramics were also on display.Entry is free...lot of parking area.Special mention must be made of Art exhibits which reflect the cultural changes from earlier civilisation to present day grandiose vision of Americas Natural environment.Worth visiting especially during Thanks giving/Christmas eve...
This is a great museum and had lots of treasured arts. It has a rich history. We enjoyed all the exhibits here.
We attend the Friday night Jazz concerts. The concerts are always a wonderful musical experience that is fully enjoyed by the entire audience. We have a family membership and attend the concerts on a regular basis. We also enjoy the artwork and gift shop while were here.
A diamond in the rough . Great place to go on a sunday afternoon
The place is amazing and bursting with creative energy. The guides are knowledgable, friendly, helpful people. There are classes for every age. When we were there a 4th grade class from a school in Fishtown was enjoying their coloring class. We loved the African exhibit and the historical works from the 18th, 19th and 20th and 21st century. The sculptures in the front yard are wonderful and it is nice to have benches scattered about so you can sit and take in the place.
We were out for a weekend drive and went to this place near cherry hill, I think, the museum is not large took us a out an hour to see it all at a slow pace. I posted a pic of what I thought was an impressive portrait. The experience will depend on what special exhibit they have is about half the museum in our visit. But is very enjouable,, then you can just walk to the twoan5(about 10 mins) and grab anything to eat.
Beautiful folksy museum. Great tree lighting ceremony too!
Great local museum. With lots of events and happenings for everyone of all ages to enjoy.
Very different in a nice way. Friendly people, super close to the area. Nice to sit outside when done walking around in the museum.
Havent been there for ages. My aunt was companion to Mrs. Smith. It was a house back then. Would never know the place, now.
Everything the people are nice to place is nice I love going there
Fabulous little art museum. Nef s paintings are spectacular. Afterwards, Eat at CAKE, behind Robertsons Flowers.
Every year we enjoy the autum designs and outdoors here.
This museum works to incorporate local works into its collection, and also seeks community involvement. A great place for all art lovers.
Quaint little gem hidden in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood of Philly. It was converted from an Old World Baby Mansion to an Eclectic Art Museum. Via eventbrite I discovered a Spring time Friday night Jazz series. They served TWO glasses of white wine wine & snacks for 25 bucks/non-member tix. I saw some Latin Jazz featuring Panamanian born Giovana Robinsons Ensemble. The music was very good and her red dress did wonders for my eyesight.
Dedicated to Showcasing local art.
Certainly worth checking out. Found the curation of the collections were really interesting and varied. The grounds of this place are gorgeous. The trees on the property are arbored in such a way that they stand as additional natural sculptures on the lawn. The most contemporary section of the museum housed mostly work by artists with a Philadelphia connection (perhaps this was even true for the other rooms). Delighted by the reflections on the time since Stonewall that I imagine were integrated in time for Pride. Only desire would be to see more works by womxn.
A great museum to check out with amazing events and experiences like Friday night jazz concerts during the summer.
This is quite a good small regional art museum at the top of Chestnut Hill. They have some good special exhibitions, a big outdoor sculpture garden, and a surprisingly fine permanent collection--check out the Church and the Cropsey, as well as the Herzog Florida landscape. I was a little annoyed that their Veramin Persian rug wasnt on display--interesting piece. The house setting is agreeable, and even the gift shop is good. If you are in the area it would be a big mistake not to visit the Woodmere.
This museum was awesome! I went for the Jerry Pinkney exhibit. I learned a lot and had some great experiences! Would go again.
Great little neighborhood art museum in Chestnut Hill. Very manageable. At this time of year there is a hay maze on the front lawn for the kids to play on. Our family always enjoys going there.
Wonderful smiling Faces greet you as you enter. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the exhibits are perfectly placed.We visited on a Sunday it was a perfect day. We will definitely be returning for a tour.
Nice small art museum. Close to Morris arboretum and Chestnut Hill. Interesting outdoor sculptures.
Impressive two story rotunda gallery and small gallery rooms in a stone mansion where art was collected by Charles Knox Smith when he lived there.
Super cool! Not huge but large varity
Charming little museum with very nice exhibits and lovely grounds.A little known gem.
I went there after closings, and i was still amazed. Big smiles....
I truly enjoyed the Black history month art. The jazz was great too.
Wonderful place to visit.
Beautiful place. Wonderful staff. Delightful, enjoyable experience. Will go again and again. Bring the whole family.

Wonderful gem in Chestnut Hill. Woodmere is a great inventive museum that is an asset to the community. New shows all the time. They also have Movie & Jazz nights
Cool little museum for a small afternoon outing!
Interesting small collection of some amazing art, including local painters and some Hudson River School gems.
Wonderful programming.
Went to see the A Million Faces: The Photography of John W. Mosley exhibit. Excellent photography and a REAL history lesson. Great space for viewing the exhibition. Plenty of parking. The gift shop is a bonus.
Exciting exhibits.

Very friendly staff! Great exhibits, super area outside for kids
Small enough to view in an hour if youd like.... or take a few
I real enjoy the Jazz.
A little gem of a museum. Id give 5 stars if the place was bigger. It takes about one hour to visit the entire place.
Good place to go if you like artwork. Family-friendly
I enjoyed my visit, I loved that they had an exhibit of my grand daughter art, plymouth meeting friends school...and other schools...the kids were thrilled to see their art work hanging in an Art museum.
Easy to find. Great collection with creative changing exhobits.
Great museum. I especially liked the Violet Oakley exhibit.

The Woodmere is worth a visit, if you have an interest in Philadelphia artists (particularly Violet Oakley).
Exceptional...
Excellent collection of Renowned Philadelphia area artists.

Small museum. Great activities. Had an exhibit of public school childrens work.
A great family friendly museum! We loved it
Wonderful Jewel of an art museum with an equally great painting program!
Small and unique PA artists
Great little museum. Go on Sunday for free admission
I wanted to see more outsider art outside. The art is ok. The price is not worth going to.
