Brandywine River Museum

After another wonderful breakfast at our hotel we went to the Brandywine River Museum (http://www.brandywinemuseum.org/). We got there early and took a short walk down by the Brandywine. On our walk we saw that an artist had setup an easel. We walked a little further and sat for awhile by the cow sculpture (see pictures). After the museum opened we got our tickets for the Kuerner Farm Tour. The Kuerner’s were the neighbors of Wyth’s and it was on the Kuerner farm were Andrew Wyth painted over 1000 pieces of art. You can read more on this at http://www.brandywinemuseum.org/kuerner.html. It was very interesting to stand in some of the rooms were Andrew Wyth had gotten inspiration for some of his work. After the tour we had lunch in the museum cafĂ© and then headed home. We had a wonderful time and look forward to our next visit to this wonderfully rich area.
