Often called the "Wyeth Museum" for its extensive collection of works by the internationally acclaimed Wyeth family - grandfather N.C., father Andrew and son Jamie - the Brandywine River Museum is housed in a converted 19th-century grist mill on the banks of the Brandywine in Chadds Ford, Pa. Its Heritage Collection features a cross-section of American art with a focus on art produced in the Brandywine Valley to make for a truly unique and important exhibition of American art. Brandywine River Museum of Art is dedicated to staying relevant and exploring broader concepts of American Art. The museum building itself, a renovated nineteenth-century mill and a testament to the intersection of art and nature, is worth a visit with its dramatic steel and glass addition overlooking the Brandywine River.
