Barnes Art Museum Philadelphia
The Barnes Art Museum in Philadelphia is surrounded by a reflecting pool manufactured by Delta Fountains.
Barnes Museum Landscape Designed Reflecting Pool
The reflecting pool and surrounded landscaping were designed to play of one another. The surrounding lighting was strategically placed to be reflected in the pool at night.
Tabletop Fountain and Reflecting Pool
The gardens outside the Barnes Museum are home to another Delta Fountains water feature. This feature is a tabletop fountain with a reflective top and waterfall along the side.
Philadelphia Urban Planning and Design
The Museum's surrounding garden acts as an intermediary urban park that separates the Museum from the rest of the city.
Barnes Museum Tabletop Weir Waterfall
The tabletop fountain's water stays tranquil along the entire length of the linear feature until it flows over a weir edge.
The Reflecting Pool's Multiple Elements
The Museum wanted to combine multiple natural elements to complete their water feature. A pebbled bottom gives the pool a sense of texture beyond the calm surface of the water.
Reflecting Pool's Invisible Edge
Part of the design aspect was to allow visitors to get right up to the water's edge, via the walkway, when entering the museum.
