Join the Burchfield Penney Art Center for a four-star weekend in and around Philadelphia.
The trip begins with the opening celebration of Exalted Nature: The Real and Fantastic World of Charles Burchfield at the Brandywine River Museum in Chadd’s Ford, PA. The exhibition, co-curated by The Center’s Nancy Weekly, brings together more than 50 works by Charles Burchfield (1893-1967) from collections across the United States, many rarely seen!
A full day will be spent in Philadelphia—guests can chose between visiting Philadelphia Museum of Art or the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts followed by a visit to The Barnes Foundation to visit the exhibition The World Is an Apple: The Still Lifes of Paul Cézanne at its only American venue, in addition to Dr. Barnes’ world-class collection now in its new home. On the way back to Buffalo, we visit Winterthur, Museum, Garden and Library founded by Henry Francis du Pont for the exhibition of Costumes of Downton Abbey, the collection of decorative and fine artwork and the exquisite gardens housing architectural elements accenting the stunning plantings.
