COMMUNITY RATING




In 1922, rags-to-riches industrialist and visionary art collector Albert C. Barnes created an educational institution—which he located in Merion, Pennsylvania—based on his unparalleled collection of masterworks by the likes of Van Gogh, Picasso, Cezanne, and Matisse. When he died, the Barnes Foundation carried on as his will stipulated for fifty years—until a powerful group of moneyed interests plotted to relocate the art to a new museum in Philadelphia. With the Governor, the Mayor, and several of the country’s most powerful charitable organizations on the verge of moving the Barnes, a loyal group of former students has gone to court to stop them. Will the students succeed in their David vs. Goliath campaign, or will a man’s will be broken and one of America’s greatest cultural monuments be destroyed?
