Location
Our
home is a 19th century rowhome in a quiet, residential neighborhood
of tree-lined streets. We are just two blocks south of Rittenhouse
Square, and five blocks east of Fitler
Square. Our location makes us easily accessible across
the South street and Walnut street bridges from the campuses
of the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University.
Just around the corner from us is the esteemed Rosenbach
Museum and Library. And our neighborhood has been home to
Major General George Gordon Meade, whose former home is just
around the corner, as well as to the paleontologist Edward
Drinker Cope, and the novelist Pearl S. Buck.
Parking
If
you are driving to visit us, on-street
parking is sometimes available, but we encourage you to consider
using the Parkway Parking lot at the corner of 17th and Pine
streets. Bring your Parkway parking ticket to the
Museum and we will validate it for you, giving you all-day
parking on Thursdays and Fridays for just $8.00. This discount
is provided courtesy of Joseph Zuritsky, CEO of the Parkway
Corporation
Accommodations
Philadelphia
has many fine hotels, and those in the Rittenhouse Square
area place you close to our home. If you're planning
an overnight visit, we hope you'll considered "La
Reserve", a quality bed-and-breakfast located directly
across Pine street (1804 Pine) from the Museum.
