Other Information

Philadelphia Museum of Art
Unusual trees and grasses dot the 25 acres of museum grounds and its rocky ramparts. Elegant Paulownia trees inhabit the niches that flank the main entrance in the East Courtyard. They are rimmed with smokebush and accented with magnolias. Two fountains and grand sculptures complete the scene.
