Over the coming year, the Brandywine Museum of Art is undertaking a major flood-hardening process to make the lower level of the Museum watertight. During this time, there will be ongoing construction activity both inside and outside of the Museum building. The Museum will remain open throughout the construction process. For our current hours of operation, please click here.

During this complex engineering procedure to flood harden the building, openings on the Museum's lower level—including windows, doors, and vents—will be removed or sealed; structural reinforcement and waterproof material will be applied to the building interior; and the foundation will be anchored to resist buoyancy forces. In keeping with our commitment to historic preservation, this project will not alter the exterior appearance of the historic Mill portion of the Museum building. 

All of this work is critical in ensuring that the Museum will be better prepared for future severe flooding events in the years ahead, so that we can remain focused on safeguarding our renowned art collection and creating the highest-possible visitor experience. 

We appreciate your continued patience and support as we undergo this disruptive, but vital work.
