Now in its 63rd year, the Philadelphia Show features more than 40 dealers from around the country on the iconic East Terrace of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Collectors will be able to explore fresh-to-market works across centuries, including paintings, sculpture, ceramics and decorative arts, making for a dynamic blend of historic fine art, antiques and design.
“The show is a vital contributor to the cultural fabric of Philadelphia,” says Ellen Simon, chair of the Philadelphia Show. “It’s a unique opportunity to support the museum’s educational mission while experiencing exceptional works of art and design.”
