Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (Frank Furness building and collections)

Founded in 1805, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) is the first and oldest art museum and art school in the United States. Its historic building on North Broad Street, designed by Frank Furness, is an architectural landmark, and the museum's collection includes major works by American artists such as Thomas Eakins. PAFA's combination of school, museum, and distinctive 19th-century architecture makes it a notable creative landmark in Philadelphia.
