A few months ago we visited the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA), having heard good things about their galleries. As usual I had my camera along. The number of open galleries was limited, as was some of the lighting, so there are only five photos here. Unfortunately, PAFA recently declared bankruptcy. It will allow juniors and seniors to finish their degrees, but other students are out of luck. Lawyers are prospering. https://rickwomer.smugmug.com/2024/February-2024/PAFA-2-24/PAFA-Pix-2-10-24 Comments always appreciated! Rick

Looks like a beautiful building, a fine center for exhibitions. Your handful of images provide a sense of the feeling and atmosphere of the place, and it is sad that it will be closing.

Thanks, Stan! There are rumors about keeping it open as a museum. We shall see.

What a place. Fine images. A sad story but surely they will work something out. Alan C On 24-Jun-24 01:50 AM, Rick Womer wrote: > Thanks, Stan! > > There are rumors about keeping it open as a museum.
