About Philadelphia Museum Of Arts
The Philadelphia Museum Of Arts (PhAM) is a multi-building art museum complex featuring the Main Building, the Ruth and Raymond G. Perelman Building, and the Rodin Museum. Whether you’re attending a large exhibition, a private event, or a community lecture, the PMA offers flexible spaces, modern amenities, and easy access to central Philadelphia life. Note that the PMA has undergone branding shifts toward PhAM, while the legal name remains Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Event spaces include Gallery Suites (up to 1,200 standing or 400 seated in flexible configurations) and Lenfest Hall (3,500 sq ft). Seating layouts vary by setup, and there is no single public seating chart. For private events, the PMA’s formal rentals program curates spaces across the complex, including reimagined interiors such as the Great Stair Hall and Williams Forum as part of ongoing renovations.
