Please do a trip report on your art adventure in and around Philadelphia. That is a trip I would like to take and I really want to hear about your's.

I was at the Portland Museum of Art last summer and really enjoyed it. You can also take a tour from the museum to the Winslow Homer studio. While it's not art, I also went to the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow House. Portland is a great city with a nice area to walk around along the water and good restaurants.

This summer I went to Mass MOCA and the Clark Institute, in Williamstown, both of which I also enjoyed. (I also went to the Williamstown Theatre Festival, which I highly recommend.) Although Mass MOCA, as its name implies, is very modern and you really have to like the art of Sol LeWitt that's on display.

I went to the Norman Rockwell Museum years ago and thought it was terrific.

"Norman Rockwell Museum in Rockbridge"

Fixing the typo in Ozark's post, it is in Stockbridge and is definitely worth a stop!
