Description
A bright, vibrant sunflower stands tall against a backdrop of lush greenery. The large yellow petals and dark brown center of the sunflower are bathed in natural sunlight, creating a cheerful scene. This sunflower and many others can be found in the gardens of the Winterthur Museum and Gardens.
Winterthur is located in northern Delaware and 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.
