Delaware Art Museum - Northchase

Rossetti exhibit is gorgeous with the fall foliage outside, great merch in the giftshop, and beautiful images on loan from the Tate, Logifts hope, fabulous exhibit.

This museum is lovely. The cafe is nice too, and I enjoyed my sandwich. I highly recommend if in the area.

When the Delaware Museum of Nature and Science was closed for an event, my little family drove past the Delaware Art Museum on our way home. With two very disappointed little kids in the car, we thought it was worth a try, and I cannot overstate how impressed I am by the very intentional kid friendliness of the Delaware Art Museum! We started our adventure in the Cafe because it was cold and rainy, and the kids needed hot cocoa to warm up, and the grownups will never turn down a nice coffee. These drinks were 10/10. The hot chocolate was the perfect temperature for little kids without having to wait or add ice cubes. The mocha latte and the white mocha latte were perfect just sweet enough, but not at all syrupy, and the latte art was some of the best I've seen outside of Pinterest! The barista who does the latte art should teach classes! The cookies were great, but the macarons were a little too creative for my preschooler's palette. I thought they were delicious, though. To top it off, there was a tiny library full of books for kids of all ages! I LOVED that the kids could flip through a book while we enjoyed our snack, and I'm now disappointed that other cafés don't have little kid libraries! In the basement, there was a perfectly magical room for kids to play in. Everything was made of soft fabric, there was an ENORMOUS toy dog that children are encouraged to climb on and read to, and there was *another* children's library stocked to the brim with beautifully diverse books, bilingual books, books written in Spanish, and books about a few artists. It was truly delightful to snuggle up in the nest and read a book with my big kid while my toddler roamed and climbed. In addition to the deliberate kid spaces, the galleries themselves were welcoming for little ones. No one shushed my big kid as he exclaimed about the beautiful sculptures and talked about his favorite parts of paintings, and there were so many things just at his eye level that he could enjoy. It seemed like there were nearly as many children visiting the museum that rainy afternoon as there were adults! I can't wait to go back and explore the sculpture garden on a nicer day.

It is a great place to visit. It has awesome staff and has beautiful displays.

Just looking at the pictures that were posted let me know I want to be there to appreciate all the Museum has to offer. I know I will enjoy my visit.
