Rethink what art can be.

Marcel Duchamp, one of the most innovative figures in modern culture, transformed the definition of art by taking a wrecking ball to traditional notions of skill, aesthetics, and taste. This exhibition brings together more than 200 works—from rarely displayed objects to his most renowned creations—showcasing the phenomenal range of his provocative ideas.

Marcel Duchamp opens October 10.

Touch grass, but make it art history. 🌿🎨

Painting en plein air means leaving the studio behind and painting outdoors, where changing light, weather, and atmosphere become part of the process.

Both John Constable and Camille Pissarro embraced painting outdoors, using direct observation to capture the landscapes and atmosphere around them.

🖼️ “Landscape with a River (detail),” 1810–1812, John Constable. Gallery 392.
🖼️ “Quai Napoléon, Rouen,” 1883, Camille Pissarro. Gallery 252.

What happens when you give high school students a microphone and a museum to explore?

Introducing Piece by Piece, a new podcast created by local high school students through the Philadelphia Museum of Art's Teen Podcast Intensive.

For its first season, A Cacophony of Artists, students researched works from A Nation of Artists, interviewed curators, scholars, and other voices, and took on roles as producers, showrunners, hosts, and sound designers.

The result is three original episodes exploring works by Dorothea Tanning, Albert Bierstadt, and N. C. Wyeth, each shaped by the students' own questions and perspectives.

Piece by Piece was created in partnership with Big Picture Alliance and Rowhome Productions.

🎧 All three episodes are available now on Spotify and YouTube.
