Although William Penn envisioned a grand civic boulevard for Broad Street, he would be dazzled by today's "Avenue of the Arts" with its rich assortment of building styles and functions. Marvel at the ornate Frank Furness-designed Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, celebrating Victorian eclecticism at its best. Gaze upward to the dramatic glass canopy of the Kimmel Center, designed by Rafael Vinoly, and in between see grand late Victorian and Beaux Arts commercial buildings. See how Penn's late 17th century vision lives on.
