This Labor Day Weekend is your final chance to check out the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s Visions Of Arcadia exhibition, which closes Monday, September 3. An important note: although access to the museum will be limited over the weekend due to the Made in America Music Festival, the Museum IS open (enter through West Entrance) and tickets for the exhibition are available as walk up only.
