Jennie Hirsh’s introduction to the Barnes Collection was excellent: both academically instructive and delightfully inviting. Her enthusiasm was obvious and potent enough to get us thinking seriously about a journey to Philadelphia.
What a great talk about this exceptional museum! Dr. Hirsh is knowledgeable and enthusiastic about this topic!! So enjoyed revisiting this museum with Dr. Hirsh. Will definitely be looking for further museum visits with her!!
Great lecture!! I visited the Barnes for the first time abt 5 yrs ago and loved it!! Very informative!!
In the past, I visited the original Barnes Museum, and always enjoy learning more about the collection and discovering the new museum.
