Barnes would be a viola-tion of his will’s stipulation that the paintings be kept in “exactly the places that they are.” But the original location of one of the best Impressionist collections in the world was a residential suburb that restricted visitors to 500 per week, so Barnes’ phrase was controversially interpreted to mean “…in relation to one another.” The new building, then, replicates the scale and proportion of the old galleries as well as Barnes’ idiosyncratic ar-rangements. $10–$29, 2025 Ben Franklin Pkwy., 215-278-7200, barnesfoundation.org.
