Philadelphians! Please advise me on which museum to visit (I can only visit one)

[CTyankee]

As you know I am a serious art history writer and I love art museums. I have only ONE day (a Sunday) to visit your wonderful city's art museums. Should I go to the Barnes or the Philadelphia Museum of Art?

I'm going with my husband who has a B'nai B'rith Conference there the first week of September.

Please advise!

Thank you all!
