Allentown Art Museum grew from an initiative led by Pennsylvania artist Walter Emerson Baum and now holds a broad collection of visual art. Its city-centre galleries provide a cultural stop that can be paired with other Lehigh Valley museums and historic streets.
Review the current exhibitions before arriving and choose a few areas to explore closely. Check visitor arrangements and any separately scheduled activity through the museum's current information rather than relying on a general city listing.
