The City of Philadelphia owns the museumâs main building, the Rodin Museum building, the Ruth and Raymond G. Perelman building, and the Mount Pleasant and Cedar Grove historic houses in Fairmount Park. The museum provides administrative services for the Rodin Museum and both historic houses, as well as the Samuel S. Fleisher Art Memorial.
We are supported by endowments, voluntary gifts, corporate support, private foundation grants, and state and federal grants, as well as by admissions, membership fees, and merchandise sales.
