always worth the visit.

PAFA offers public programs, such as
gallery tours, weekend family workshops,
lectures, teacher-oriented programs, sum-
mer camps and hands-on workshops and
classes. The Rodin Garden Bar is back by popular
demand. Spend a summer evening in an
urban oasis at the Rodin Museum. Enjoy
beer, wine and music, and you can even
picnic in the garden. You can also view
works of art by the master sculptor August
Rodin. On days the Garden Bar is open,
evening tours are offered at 6 p.m.

One of the most serene destinations on
the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, the Rodin
Museum offers a green, intimate setting in
which to enjoy some of the world’s most
renowned masterpieces of sculpture. With
nearly 150 bronzes, marbles and plas-
ters, the distinguished collection housed
in the museum represents every phase of
Auguste Rodin’s career.

The garden outside the museum dis-
plays eight works around a picturesque
fountain. “The Thinker” and “The Gates
of Hell” have stood in their same loca-
tions since the museum opened in 1929.

“Ocean Without a Shore,” which opens June
28 and runs through Dec. 31, is a major video
installation and “a profound experimental
work by Bill Viola that combines a reverence
for the traditions of figuration and realism
in Western art with new and cutting-edge
technology,” according to PAFA.

Entering “Ocean Without a Shore,” the
viewer stands in a darkened room before
three large video monitors. In turn, 24
people emerge individually from behind
an invisible wall of rushing water and
eventually return. Viola describes “Ocean
Without a Shore” as “a series of encounters
at the intersection between life and death.”
PAFA is known for its collections of
19th- and 20th-century American paint-
ings, sculptures and works on paper, as well
as contemporary works. The permanent
collection boasts pieces from 18th- and
19th-century masters such as Winslow
Homer, Mary Cassatt and Thomas Eakins.

Founded in 1805, PAFA is the first muse-
um and school of fine arts in the nation,
and the exhibitions of students’ work are
