	~~The mission of~~ the ~~'''~~Barnes ~~Foundation''' is~~ to ~~promote "the advancement~~ of ~~education and the appreciation~~ of the ~~fine arts~~ and ~~horticulture~~."		Philadelphia art collector Albert C. Barnes (1872–1951) chartered the Barnes in 1922 to teach people from all walks of life how to look at art.

He displayed them alongside African masks, native American jewelry, Greek antiquities, and decorative metalwork.

	~~Born into a working-class family in Philadelphia, Albert Coombs Barnes (1872–1951) showed his intelligence and drive early on. In 1922,~~ Dr. Barnes ~~and his wife, Laura Leggett Barnes, purchased~~ a ~~12-acre arboretum in Merion, Pennsylvania. He hired noted French architect Paul Cret to design a residence and gallery on the grounds. This would become the first home~~ of ~~the Barnes Foundation, '''an educational institution dedicated to promoting an appreciation of fine art~~ and ~~horticulture'''.~~		Dr. Barnes was a strong supporter of progressive education and social justice, and he worked closely with Black communities in the belief that people—like art—should not be segregated.

	~~Today~~, ~~the Barnes Foundation continues to honor~~ and ~~build on Dr. Barnes's educational legacy. In 2012, the Barnes moved to its current home~~ in ~~Philadelphia, a state-of-~~the-art ~~building designed by Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects \| Partners~~.
