WINTER WEEKENDS FOR FAMILIES AT THE BRANDYWINE RIVER MUSEUM
(January 2003, 001)


Need a cure for cabin fever this winter? Come and discover the wonderful world of art at the Brandywine River Museum during Winter Weekends for Families from February 1 through March 9, 2003.

Explore the museum's galleries with a "Museum Discovery Game" where your powers of observation will be tested to find objects represented in works of art throughout the museum.

As part of Winter Weekends, visitors will also receive a free copy of the "Family Guide: A Museum Activity Book." The Family Guide contains a treasure of activities for children to use during their museum visit or at home. In addition, the museum will offer an educational guide for the featured exhibition, Capturing Nureyev: James Wyeth Paints the Dancer.

Selected children's items will be on sale at reduced prices during Winter Weekends in the Museum Shop. Visitors may purchase new annual Family Memberships to the Brandywine River Museum for 50% off the regular price.

Pre-registration for Winter Weekends is not necessary.
