Boo! Halloween-, Thanksgiving-, and Fall-themed Critters on sale through November 18

Bats, witches, ghosts, turkeys, pumpkins and other seasonal home decor and tabletop items are available from October 3 through November 18 at the Brandywine River Museum of Art. Critters are delightful, distinctive ornaments and tabletop decorations, each made by hand using natural materials. Critters make great gifts for hostesses, housewarmings, and special occasions, and will be enjoyed by the recipient for years to come.

Using their imaginations, museum volunteers use raw materials such as pine cones, acorns, egg shells, flowers, and seed pods, to give each critter its own unique personality and expression. Brandywine volunteers have been creating critters for more than 30 years, with all proceeds benefitting the Volunteers’ Art Purchase Fund, and Art Education and Programming.

The cost for the Critters ranges from $10 to $50. They are available in the Museum Shop, which is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
