Quotes from the websites:
"The nearly 150 objects in the Rodin Museum’s collection offer rich and diverse perspectives on the extraordinary career of Auguste Rodin."
"The Barnes, Founded by Dr. Albert C. Barnes, is one of largest collections of modern art in America. Dr. Barnes quickly established himself as a bold and ambitious collector, traveling frequently to New York and Paris, buying from dealers and sometimes directly from artists. Over the course of four decades, he assembled what is now considered one of the world's greatest collections of impressionist, post-impressionist, and early modern European paintings, with works by Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Amedeo Modigliani, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Chaïm Soutine."
