Winterthur Museum Collection
Yuletide at Winterthur is the current theme for visitors at Winterthur in Wilmington, Delaware. The mansion is beautiful and the tours change during the year so there are always new things to see. Travelers come from all over the world to see the museum collection.
“Winterthur’s unparalleled collection of nearly 90,000 objects features decorative and fine arts made or used in America from 1630 to 1860. The collection is organized in several main categories— ceramics, glass, furniture, metalwork, paintings and prints, and textiles and needlework. Famous for its American artwork, the collection is amplified with objects from other regions of the world, illustrating the active role America played in the international market.
Winterthur’s founder, Henry Francis du Pont, formed the original collection for the museum and added to it until his death in 1969. Winterthur curators continue to fill gaps in the collection and to build upon its strengths. Acquisition choices are based, in part, upon the museum’s collecting policy.” - Winterthur
