About

“Decoding the Barnes Ensembles” is a 1pm Spotlight Tour at the Barnes Foundation on Sunday, November 29, 2026. The guided gallery tour explains how Dr. Albert Barnes arranged artworks and objects into “ensembles,” creating visual connections between works that might otherwise seem unrelated. It covers details such as paintings hung high in corners and upside-down hinges on the walls, and how the galleries were transformed into classrooms. Admission is $49 for this weekend session; members are free.
