Photo of the Day: The Art Deco Façade at the Perelman Building

the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s brand-new (opened September 15, 2007) Ruth and Raymond G. Perelman Building. Across the street from the larger museum, this 1927 annex is transformed from its Deco roots and houses the museum’s new user-friendly library; archives; center for prints, drawings and photographs; the costumes and textiles collection; and “Collab,” a superb assemblage of modern and contemporary design. You’ll want to stop and ogle pivotal designs by Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Marcel Breuer, George Nelson and husband-and-wife team Charles and Ray Eames. (Photo by G. Widman)
