Daily Talks at the Barnes
Every day, our gallery specialists offer free talks about the Barnes collection. Introduction talks provide an overview of our history, information about our founder, Dr. Albert C. Barnes, and methods for understanding and appreciating our collection and how it is arranged. Pop-up talks and collection talks offer more focused discussions about individual works, artists, and ensembles.
Introduction talks take place at noon, 1 pm, 2 pm, and 3 pm.
Pop-up talks and collection talks happen throughout the day; you can find a schedule at the front desk or at the entrance of the permanent collection galleries.
Talk schedules and locations are subject to change.
