Philadelphia's Museum of Art is one of the largest of the US museums; the grand neoclassical building is a city icon. It houses masterpieces of painting, sculpture, decorative arts and architecture from Europe, Asia and the Americas. There are some significant highlights: Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings, such as Van Gogh's Sunflowers and Cezanne's Large Bather; a famous collection of Oriental carpets; furniture and silverwork by early Philadelphia craftsmen.
