America 250 Exhibitions

  • Early American Galleries

    These ongoing galleries offer aa 10,000-square-foot showcase of colonial and early American art and design highlighting Philadelphia’s role as the nation’s early cultural capital. Featuring paintings, furniture, silver, ceramics, glass, and decorative arts from the 1600s through the early 1800s, the galleries offer a rich look at America’s artistic beginnings.

  • A Nation of Artists

    Explore three centuries of American creativity through ceramics, wood carving, painting, fashion, and more. Featured are works by Indigenous, African American, and historically underrepresented artists who helped shape the nation’s visual culture.

  • Workshops of the World

    This exhibition marks the 150th anniversary of PMA, which was chartered at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, with a celebration of the creative innovations that emerged from a network of Philadelphia artists, architects, and manufacturers.

    A special focus of the exhibition is on craft-based communities outside the city, and we're excited to announce that the Weavers of New Hope by Violet Oakley is on loan from the Everhart Museum in Scranton for inclusion in the exhibition!
