History of Special Exhibitions
The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts has sponsored or organized hundreds of special format, thematic, or single-artist exhibitions, large and small, and continues to do so. This category includes traveling exhibitions organized by other museums and, in modern times, thematic exhibitions of the permanent collection.
Documentation for special exhibitions ranges from as little as a single printed ticket to full scholarly catalogues. Installation photographs survive in limited numbers from 1894 to 1959 and extensively after that date. Where no printed matter survives, information may be available in the minutes of the Committee on Exhibitions, annual reports, exhibition files, correspondence files, press releases or newspaper clippings.
