The Barnes Collection is better served in Philadelphia because its exceptional works can now be seem by far more people, but its building isn't the best urbanism.

Part of the problem is the siting it inherited, which is the kind of monument-in-a-park deal that was popular during the City Beautiful movement, but it is also designed to be a kind of retreat from the city, to recreate the old site's calm. Unfortunately, this made TWBTA really turn the structure's back on the city.
