Item Description
Join OSV Trustee and Winterthur professor Brock Jobe for a private three-hour tour for up to four guests. If the weather cooperates, the tour will start around the outside of the museum and discuss the history of the house before heading indoors to see the collections inside.
Winterthur is the premier museum of American decorative arts, with an unparalleled collection of nearly 90,000 objects made or used in America since 1640. The collection is displayed in the magnificent 175-room house, much as it was when the family of founder Henry Francis du Pont called it home.
Winterthur is also 1,000 acres of protected meadows, woodlands, ponds, and waterways. The 60-acre garden, designed by du Pont, is among America’s best, with magnificent plantings and massive displays of color throughout the year. The graduate degree programs and extensive research library make Winterthur an important center for the study of American art and culture.
Item Special Note
Brock suggests visiting Winterthur mid-April through the third week of May. The museum is closed on Mondays and the months of January and February. To be redeemed at a mutually agreeable day and time between Brock Jobe and winner.
