Artists have been inspired by the inner and outer beauty of the pomegranate since biblical times. The objects on view in this exhibition represent a cross-section of textiles from the Museum’s collection that feature this richly symbolic fruit.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art celebrates the acquisition of an outstanding masterpiece of early Renaissance armor: an exceedingly rare, fine, and complete horse armor and man armor, made in 1507 and about 1505 by the celebrated German armorers Wilhelm von Worms the Elder and Matthes Deutsch, respectively.

The first exhibition of Sommer’s work in Philadelphia since 1968, Frederick Sommer Photographs presents some forty images spanning the artist’s career, along with a small number of drawings and collages. Included is a rare suite of macabre yet poignant photographs the artist made in 1939 using chicken parts collected from his local butcher.

The masterpieces in this exhibition encompass nearly a millennium of art from across the Himalayan region (centered on Tibet and Nepal) and from neighboring areas under its cultural influence.
