Arcadia has long been the idea of earthly paradise & wilderness, captured by artists. The Philadelphia Art Museum currently has their own Visions of Arcadia: Gauguin, Cézanne, Matisse exhibition running now through September 3.

Three of these mural-sized paintings capture the theme of a mystical place of contentment and harmony, setting the tone of foundations of modern art. This exhibit is exclusive to Philadelphia and includes masterpieces by Picasso, Gleizes, and Signac.

Want to experience this for yourself? We’re giving away pairs of VIP tickets (which means no set entry time) to 2 lucky readers!

In order to enter, leave a comment below about your own vision of Arcadia. Do you prefer the great outdoors? Flower arrangements at Longwood Gardens? How about the landscape of Southern France? We’ll pick 1 winner on Friday and draw another lucky name at end of day Tuesday.
