Dr. Albert Barnes established the Barnes Foundation in 1922 to "promote the
advancement of education and the appreciation of the fine arts" and horticulture.
The Foundation carries out its mission through teaching, research, and other
programs related to its Art Department and Arboretum, as well as through
public access to the Gallery which houses its main collection of paintings,
sculpture, and other works of art.
