Statue Garden at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, NY


Its two approved caterers, the Otesaga Hotel and Resort and L.M. Townsend Catering, have extensive experience with this format.


Bonus: Arrangements can be made to keep the galleries open during your event, and photography is permitted.


The Barnes Foundation, located along the Benjamin Franklin Park- way in Philadelphia, has hosting events down to an art. The mu- seum is known for


its collection of impressionist,


post-impressionist and early modernist art, including many works by Renoir, Cezanne and Matisse. The galleries, which are accessible during events, make a glorious focal point.


The collection is housed in a bright and airy limestone building de- signed by award-winning architects Tod Williams and Billie Tsien, that is nearly as impressive as the collection itself. A modern mu- seum, it has a variety of light-filled event spaces with floor-to-ceiling windows that provide views of the garden, as well as an outdoor terrace overlooking its lush outdoor space.


There are rooms appropriate for intimate dinners, lectures in the- ater-style seating for 140, and receptions for up to 800 guests. Being surrounded by so much art carries over into the cuisine, too. The on-site caterer, Constellation Culinary Group, makes sure that the food served at events is also artfully presented.


Bonus: Event planners can use images of the artwork from the Barnes collection on invitations and event-related publications.
