51st Annual Delaware Show

YOU RECOGNIZE A CLASSIC WHEN YOU SEE IT Winterthur will reveal a new look in Spring 2015! As the result of a yearlong renovation project, the 410 windows, 15 doors, and approximately 800 shutters of the house will be restored or replaced in an effort to further protect the museum’s world-renowned collection from damaging UV light. The windows will create an inviting outer appearance and return the iconic exterior of Henry Francis du Pont’s former home to the architect’s original 1930s vision. Don’t miss this classic “reveal”! For information and updates on this exciting project, visit winterthur.org/renovation2014 . Albert Ely Ives, west elevation of the wing (detail), ca. 1929. In 1928 H.
