The Philadelphia Show features a loan exhibit every year, a tradition since the Show’s founding in 1962. The curated, museum-quality loan exhibit changes with each Show and allows visitors a closer look at specific genre of antiques.

This year’s loan exhibition Faces in the Crowd celebrates faces in a post-pandemic world by exploring works of art that incorporate a myriad of faces.

The loan exhibit is curated by Alexandra Kirtley, the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s Montgomery-Garvan Curator of American Decorative Arts and long time supporter of the show, Joan Johnson.
