The Biggs Museum of American Art
One man's lifetime of collecting

Click to Focus on...The Peale Gallery
Enjoy American art in Dover, the First State’s capital city—from colonial portraiture to impressionism to 20th-century traditional realism.  See still lifes that move you and landscapes that draw you in.  Connect with two centuries of work by nationally renowned artists Gilbert Stuart, Thomas Cole, Albert Bierstadt, Childe Hassam, and six members of the Peale family. 

Discover the fact and fancy of Delaware illustrator Frank Schoonover, whose pirates delight visitors of all ages. More than 20 examples of his imaginative work are on view.

Delight in the “stories” that a select collection of Delaware Valley furniture tell, and marvel at intricate needlework, breathtaking silver, and colorful ceramics.

You'll leave in awe of the diverse and rich legacy which American artists and craftsmen have left us. And, it's all free! Ask about our special programs for children and adults.  Come back. Often. You, your family and friends are always welcome at the Biggs Museum.
