From July 1, 2012, general admission to the Philadelphia Museum of Art will increase from $16 to $20 and will now be offered as a two-day ticket, enabling visitors to return the next day of operation to take full advantage of all of the Museum’s facilities, including the Main building and Anne d’Harnoncourt Sculpture Garden, the Ruth and Raymond G. Perelman Building, and the newly restored Rodin Museum, which will reopen to the public on July 13, 2012.

Additionally, complimentary shuttle transportation will now be available for the first time between all three buildings during operating hours for visitors’ convenience.
