To quote from their website, "As the first art school and museum in the United States, PAFA celebrates the transformative power of art and art-making." The artwork which you will see in the next few posts is something to look forward to, but it would be a shame to ignore some of the architectural features that make this building a thing of beauty.
Beautiful architecture! It reminded me of our state capital building, Have a wonderful week, Sue!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! The architecture is truly incredible and so inspiring! I could spend days there studying each element. Thank you so much for sharing and hosting!

Wow, that really is a beautifully designed building. And because of the floor tiles, the wall design and the shape of the archways, it reminds me of the Alhambra, for example: https://rostrose.blogspot.com/2018/02/spanische-tage-5-besuch-der-alhambra.html ) or certain details in the Palau Guell by Antoni Gaudi / Barcelona ( https://rostrose.blogspot.com/2012/08/palau-guell.html )
ReplyDeleteIt is particularly beautiful that the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts is so flooded with light.
All the best, Traude

Very interesting . And the architecture looks to me european style.. But I think that´s no wonder because most of the immigrants came from there.
ReplyDeleteHave a good time and all the best
