Brandywine Museum of Art

The Brandywine Museum of Art is a museum of regional and American art located on U.S. Route 1 in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania on the banks of the Brandywine Creek.

[2] In September 2021, the museum's lower level was flooded due to the remnants of Hurricane Ida with mechanical systems, lecture rooms, classrooms and office spaces damaged and estimates around $6 million.

[3] The museum still opened for the holiday season in limited capacity later in the year.

The glass-walled lobby overlooks the river and countryside that inspired the Brandywine School earlier in the early 20th century.

The museum's permanent collection features American illustration, still life works, and landscape painting by Jasper Francis Cropsey, Harvey Dunn, Peter Hurd, Maxfield Parrish, Howard Pyle, William Trost Richards, Barclay Rubincam, and Jessie Willcox Smith.
