Woodmere Art Museum
9201 Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 19118 Map
Housed across two nineteenth-century stone mansions on ten acres in Chestnut Hill, Woodmere is dedicated to the art and artists of Philadelphia.
Charles Knox Smith Hall and its grounds, together with the core of the collection, are the gifts of Charles Knox Smith (1845–1916). Born of humble means, Smith eventually built a successful mining company and served on Philadelphia’s Common Council (the precursor to today’s City Council). In 1898, Smith purchased the estate known as Woodmere and began transforming it into a showcase for his art. With the belief that the experience of art and nature together offer a path to spiritual beauty, Smith welcomed his first visitors to Woodmere in 1910.
The Museum continues to honor his vision with WOW, Woodmere’s Outdoor Wonder, which brings together monumental outdoor sculpture, horticulture, environmental conservation, and education.
