The Philadelphia Museum of Art announced its 2027 exhibition program November 11. The lineup includes a site-specific installation at the Rodin Museum, a look at Black style across nearly a century and a half, and a summer exhibition about the role of printmaking in American political life.
France-Lise McGurn’s Kicking Silk opens February 27 at the Rodin Museum. The Scottish artist will pair new murals and painted furnishings with sculptures she selected from the Rodin collection. On May 1, Sunday Best: The Power and the Glory of Black Style opens in the Dorrance Galleries. Organized with the Art Gallery of Ontario, it follows how Black communities have used fashion and self-presentation from the 1880s to today.
Two summer openings turn to different media. Alex Da Corte’s video installation The Party opens July 2. Art Front: Prints and Politics in the United States, 1929–1945 follows July 10, tracing how printmakers responded to the Great Depression, the New Deal and the rise of fascism.
The museum also plans a solo survey of Lagos-based designer Nifemi Marcus-Bello. It opens November 20, 2027, in the Alter Gallery.
