Room With a View Round
A bucolic view of Fairmount Park can be seen through a Round in one of the grand arched windows of Memorial Hall in Philadelphia. This Beaux-Arts style building was built in the park for the 1876 Centennial Exposition, the first official World's Fair in the United States. One of five main halls among more than 200 buildings of the exhibition, it is the only major one remaining. An art gallery during the Centennial, then the first home for the Philadelphia Museum of Art until 1929, it has been the home for the Please Touch Museum since 2008.
