About this venue

Make great art the centerpiece of your next special occasion. Give a toast from a grand balcony graced by seventeenth-century tapestries, mingle in a garden among Rodin’s classic bronzes or dance the night away in the atrium of Art Deco building. No matter the affair, the setting will be unforgettable at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Stunning spaces in our main building, the Ruth and Raymond G. Perelman Building, and the Rodin Museum offer an array of options for indoor and garden events of all sizes, from photo shoots to business meetings to formal weddings. Constellation Culinary Group, the Museum’s exclusive caterer, creates custom menus, offering food and drinks that are as spectacular as the setting. Entertaining with us also helps support our program— all the more reason to celebrate.
