Shelburne Museum is the largest art and history museum in northern New England and Vermont’s foremost public resource for visual art and material culture. The Museum’s 45-acre campus is comprised of 39 buildings with dozens of gardens. The collection includes important American paintings by Andrew Wyeth, Winslow Homer, Anna Mary Robertson “Grandma” Moses, and many more. Also on view are works by Impressionists Claude Monet, Edouard Manet, Edgar Degas, and Mary Cassatt as well as a prized collection of folk art including trade signs, weathervanes, and quilts. Demonstrations in the blacksmith and printing shops. Vintage carousel rides. A landlocked 220-foot steamboat, the Ticonderoga.
For seven weeks from late November through early January the campus glows with lights for Winter Lights, a holiday tradition.
Coming in 2027: The Perry Center for Native American Art, designed in partnership with Indigenous voices and devoted to the stewardship and exhibition of Native American art.
