MAIN BUILDING
Perched atop the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, the museum’s main building is an inspiring setting for an unforgettable event. The possibilities for creative and customized affairs are endless in our versatile and unique event sites. Have your first dance in the Great Stair Hall, throw an intimate cocktail party within a French cloister, impress clients with a dessert buffet along the Great Stair Hall Balcony, or host an outdoor gala on the East Terrace.
In the fall of 2016, the museum unveiled a comprehensive renovation of the South Asian Art galleries which were named by BizBash as one of the top ten tech-forward event venues in Philadelphia.
RUTH AND RAYMOND G. PERELMAN BUILDING
From its Art Deco exterior to its skylit interior, the Perelman Building offers cutting-edge presentations of photography, costume and textiles, and modern and contemporary design that will surely give your guests something to talk about.
RODIN MUSEUM
A hidden oasis in the city, the Rodin Museum is an ideal spot for vows, toasts, and other memorable moments. Guests will be welcomed at the entrance of the breathtaking Dorrance H. Hamilton Garden by Rodin’s The Thinker. In the galleries, they will be transported to another world by one of the largest public collections of Rodin’s work outside Paris. Host a gallery reception, or take the party outdoors to the enchanting garden and reflecting pool.
