By TrainTake an Amtrack train to the Philadelphia - 30th Street Station, PA (PHL) station. From there we'd recommend one of the bus routes below or a taxi.
By BusAt the moment SEPTA busses Nos. 7, 32, 38, 43, and 48 travel to or near the Art Museum. However, we'd recommend one of the "hop on hop off" bus tours of Philadelphia. They will drop you off (and pick you up) right outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art, as well as numerous other places of interest.
