Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts Summary

The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.

The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts was founded in 1805 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by painter and scientist Charles Willson Peale, sculptor William Rush, and other artists and business leaders. Its archives house important materials for the study of American art history, museums, and art training. Since its founding, the Academy has collected works by leading American artists, as well as works by distinguished alumni and faculty of its school. Work by The Eight, which included former Academy students Robert Henri and John Sloan, is well represented in the collection, and provides a transition between 19th- and 20th- century art movements. Acquisitions and exhibition programs are balanced between historical and contemporary art, and the museum continues to show works by contemporary regional artists and features annual displays of work by Academy students. This highly anticipated move is the next major element of the Academy’s expansion and enhancement as it moves into its third century as America’s oldest museum and school of art. In January 2007, the Pennsylvania Academy, in association with the Philadelphia Museum of Art, purchased the Thomas Eakins’s masterpiece, The Gross Clinic, from the Jefferson Medical School.
