N.C. Wyeth Mural Experience at the Brandywine Museum of Art

The Brandywine Museum of Art is now offering guided tours of N.C. Wyeth’s monumental mural, Apotheosis of the Family, 1932, housed in a specially designed round barn on Point Lookout Farm—the home of N.C.’s grandson, artist Jamie Wyeth—in nearby Wilmington, DE.

This exclusive, all-encompassing experience will first take visitors on a trip to the N.C. Wyeth Studio, a National Historic Landmark, for a guided look at the artist’s mural practice.

Next, you’ll embark on a scenic drive through lands that have been preserved by the Brandywine Conservancy on your way to Point Lookout Farm. Once on the farm site, you’ll walk through an open horse stable that was previously home to the 2012 Belmont Stakes-winning thoroughbred, Union Rags, who was owned by Jamie Wyeth’s late wife, Phyllis Mills Wyeth—an avid conservationist and equestrian. Today, the stable houses several descendants of Union Rags who now live on the property. Once through the stable, you'll encounter a stunning vista overlooking the 200-plus acre Point Lookout Farm, then you'll walk down a grassy path to the round barn that houses N.C. Wyeth’s Apotheosis of the Family mural.
