 Anne d'Harnoncourt
and the Perelman Building
Watch the video
The art world was rocked recently by the sudden death of Anne d'Harnoncourt, director and CEO of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. To paraphrase one commentator's reaction: "You do not replace an Anne d'Harnoncourt." One of the greatest accomplishments of her tenure was the purchase and renovation of the nearby Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Company. In its new role as the Ruth and Raymond G. Perelman Building, this Art Deco masterpiece gives the museum more exhibition space, as well as study centers and educational resources. Visit this stunning new addition to the museum, and watch as Anne d'Harnoncourt describes this realization of a long-held dream.
