Site and architectural photography document the museum's buildings and grounds—from construction photographs of our iconic main building, to the Perelman Building annex, to the Rodin Museum, to Cedar Grove and Mount Pleasant (2 historic houses in Fairmount Park), and sites that no longer exist like the 69th Street Annex.
Special Format: Photographs Collection During the construction of the museum's main building in Fairmount, a series of images were taken to document the process. Some images have been digitized and are available in ArtStor. Just search "construction".
Contact the Archives with the collection names and box numbers you wish to examine.
Some aerial views of the museum's construction are owned by the Free Library of Philadelphia and can be found in their Digital Collections.
