Tours depart from the Museum via shuttle on the schedule listed below. Guided tours of the Andrew Wyeth Studio introduce visitors to all aspects of his career, enhancing the museum’s gallery experience. The Andrew Wyeth Studio is a National Historic Landmark and a member site of the Historic Artists' Homes and Studios program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The studio still houses the furnishings, library and collections acquired by the artist, as well as examples of the art materials he used throughout his career. Thousands of paintings and drawings were created there, inspired by the people, architecture and landscapes of Chadds Ford. This studio, a repurposed schoolhouse originally built in 1875, served as the artist’s principal Pennsylvania workplace from 1940 to 2008. The world of Andrew Wyeth is best understood by a visit to his studio. Given to the Brandywine Museum of Art by the artist’s wife, Betsy James Wyeth, the studio provides visitors with a unique opportunity to experience this very personal space. The artist’s son Jamie Wyeth said: Andrew Wyeth, one of America’s best-known twentieth-century artists, painted many of his most important works of art in his Chadds Ford studio.
