The Barnes Collection is an art collection founded by Dr. Albert C. Barnes in the early 20th century. Located in Philadelphia, it features an extensive array of over 4,000 pieces, including works by renowned artists such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Vincent van Gogh. The collection is notable for its unique arrangement, emphasizing the relationships between the artworks rather than traditional art historical contexts. In addition to paintings, the collection includes decorative arts, African sculptures, and American furniture. The Barnes Foundation, which houses the collection, aims to promote education and appreciation of art through its exhibitions and programs. It is recognized as one of the most important art collections in the world.
