The museum started offering free admission to visitors all day on the first Sunday of every month in February. Previously, the hours for the monthly free-admission program were limited to the morning.

These First Sundays for Families, scheduled through Nov. 6, feature special hands-on creative art activities sponsored by PNC Arts Alive and designed to engage visitors of all ages, a museum press release said.

First Sundays for Families is funded by PNC Arts Alive, a multi-year, multi-million dollar initiative of the PNC Foundation, which receives its principal funding from The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. The goal of PNC Arts Alive is to help area residents gain access to the arts and to help arts organizations expand and engage audiences.

The Brandywine River Museum of Art features an outstanding collection of American art housed in a 19th-century mill building with a dramatic steel and glass addition overlooking the banks of the Brandywine. Open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., except Thanksgiving Day and Christmas, the museum is located on Route 1 in Chadds Ford. For more information, call 610-388-2700 or visit brandywinemuseum.org.
