Philadelphia holds a hallowed place in American history. From Independence Hall to the Liberty Bell, the city fairly bursts with historical landmarks. The City of Brotherly Love is also home to a wonderful selection of artistic destinations. With a vibrant visual-art scene (featuring numerous outdoor murals and public installations), including varied musical and theatrical offerings, Philadelphia is a “don’t miss” destination for serious art lovers.
