Although less than 30 years old, the Brandywine River Museum of Art is a place with plenty of tradition. That is, of course, the Brandywine tradition, a rich artistic heritage that began in the late 19th century with the distinguished artist-illustrator Howard Pyle. The works of Pyle and his students make up a large part of the Museum's permanent collection.

Established as a part of the Brandywine Conservancy, the museum is dedicated to preserving the artistic culture and environmental integrity of the Brandywine Valley. Sometimes referred to as the "Wyeth Museum", it is home to one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of works by N.C., Andrew and Jamie Wyeth which are on permanent display.

Tours of the N.C. Wyeth House and Studio, Andrew Wyeth's Studio and the Kuerner Farm are offered from April 4 through November 24 and offer you the chance to experience the places and spaces where the Wyeths created their art, and to see the home where N.C. raised the next generation of Wyeth painters.

The museum is housed in a converted nineteenth-century grist mill on the banks of the Brandywine River. Open 7 days a week and most holidays.
