Brandywine Christmas 076, originally uploaded by DianthusMoon.
Sean and I ventured down to the Brandywine River Museum to see their Christmas display as it will be over soon. We enjoyed getting in for a good price between Sean being a student and having a entertainment.com coupon (from the book I get every year). I particularly liked the above shot of the statue ‘Boy with Hawk’ with the wreath. The Ann Wyeth McCoy dolls were really sweet and varied in size from tiny to life size. The trains are always a hit with the kids to the grown ups. They had a drive-in, fairgrounds, and a replica of the Herr’s Snack food plant that is down in Nottingham, Pa. Did I forget to mention it was in the 60s and it’s January? I always like looking at the Wyeth paintings too. I don’t recall seeing the Helga nudes, so that was interesting. We had fun seeing the rabbit sculpture to the left of the museum.
That’s a painting of the collector Ann Wyeth McCoy in the background there.
Wonderful pictures! Thank you for sharing:)
Those dwarfs are the cutest. They look like they are made from nuts–so creative!
How I would love to visit that museum, everything looks so delightful! How come the name Brandywine sounds familiar to me? Is there something else that’s called that? I’ll have to check that out cuz it’s bothering me where I’ve heard it before! lol Love all the critters and the dolls are so darling as well. You do have so many wonderful places to visit around your area!! xoxo
