Matisse was describing a designation of La Danse (pictured above) in a categorical gallery at The Barnes Foundation in Merion, Pennsylvania.

A century later, travelers who want to take in this true wonder of the world arent limited to explorer-style bivouacking; rather, there are now a wide range of accommodations, dining experiences, spas and adventures that rival the best in the world.
