Museums

Several masterpieces of Brandywine Valley native Andrew Wyeth hang inside the halls of the Brandywine River Museum of Art, while The Delaware Art Museum is renown for its collection of American art and illustrations featuring Wilmington-born Howard Pyle, as well as its exquisite and extensive collection of English pre-Raphaelite paintings. Down on the Riverfront, The Delaware Contemporary stays up-to-the-minute with ever-changing displays and exhibits of new work by emerging artists. In fact, the area boasts so many working artists that both Wilmington, DE and Kennett Square, PA host popular gallery events on the first Friday of every month, the Art Loop in Wilmington and the Art Stroll in Kennett.
