About the Museum
Housed in a gracious 19th century stone Victorian mansion on six acres in the Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia, Woodmere first opened its doors to the public in 1940. The building, grounds and the nucleus of the permanent collection are the benefactions of Charles Knox Smith (1845 - 1916) whose wish it was to create - a very lively art center...to awaken the spirit of, the appreciation of, and the knowledge of art . . . in the City of Philadelphia and surrounding territory. - Today, the Permanent Collection houses more than 2500 works of art, much of it celebrating the art and artists of the Philadelphia region.
