Event Details
How often have you walked into a museum and wanted to jump right into a painting to lay on a beautiful landscape or touch the soft folds of beautifully painted silks? Join us on March 21st from 10 am-3 pm and do just that! From a red kerchief seen in “The Last Moments of John Brown” by Thomas Hovenden to the blue silk dress work of Anna Dorthea Finney and a simple copper pot in the chaos of “A Kitchen” by Hendrick Sorgh. With over a dozen paintings to interact with and covering several artistic periods, there will be something for everyone to touch! This program is free and will be occurring throughout the day.

First State Heritage Park, part of the National Parks System, is Delaware’s first urban park without boundaries. This historical park explores the stories of remarkable Delawareans and the lives of ordinary people throughout the history of the First State. The park centers around the historic Dover Green and consists of the John Bell House Interpretive Center and Legislative Hall as well as six partner sites, which includes the Biggs Museum of Art, Woodburn Hall House, and the Johnson Victrola Museum. Costumed interpreters help visitors step back in time with 18th century living history, thematic walking tours, craft workshops, and special events to highlight this historic town!
