Public Art
Art everywhere you look
 
Philadelphia has more public art than any other American city, according to a recent survey of outdoor sculpture sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution. This is not so surprising since Philadelphia’s extraordinary collection of public art is a result of the city’s long and impressive tradition of cultural and civic involvement.

With superb examples of every period and material, the city’s unrivaled collection forms a veritable “museum without walls.”
