Pocopson students tour Brandywine River Museum

Pocopson Elementary School fourth-graders became the latest group of students to get their cultural horizons expanded at the Brandywine River Museum. Three fourth-grade classes toured the museum on a rain-soaked Tuesday morning.

“It’s essential to get students here,” said Mary Cronin, the museum’s supervisor of education.

Cronin explained that getting people interested in art at a young age goes a long way to have them interested later in life.

“What you’re comfortable with as a fourth-grader, you’re comfortable with as an adult,” she said.

The museum runs school tours almost every day and there are tours designed for groups from pre-K through college.

Anywhere from 6,000 to 8,000 students visit the museum annually, Cronin said.

The Pocopson students toured the museum galleries in class groups, with each group being led by a guide who encouraged the students to talk about what they were seeing and speculate on what the artist was trying to convey.
