Telling the story of Philadelphia’s art and artists

Woodmere Art Museum’s mission is to inspire creativity, learning, and self-expression through experiences with the art and artists of Philadelphia and the region.

Housed in a 19th-century stone mansion on six acres in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood of Philadelphia, Woodmere offers a unique museum experience that centers on the art and artists of Philadelphia. Vibrant exhibitions explore the achievements and social ideas of Philadelphia’s artists in the broader context of American art. Woodmere prioritizes diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in its collecting, programming, and admission policies. There are permanent collections, various exhibits and even a children’s gallery.  Check out all the classes and workshops available.  Don’t miss the Museum’s store for souvenirs, home decor, gifts and more!

Throughout the year, Woodmere offers family events, tours, gallery talks, lectures, panel discussions, studio art classes, film, and music performances. Woodmere offers the experience of art and nature together with a growing collection of sculpture installations across its six green acres. Complemented by an interactive map, WOW, Woodmere’s Outdoor Wonder, brings together monumental outdoor sculpture, horticulture, environmental conservation, and education.
