The Brandywine River Museum will offer free admission on May 18 as part of the Association of Art Museum Directors' (AAMD) Art Museum Day, coinciding with International Museum Day on Saturday, May 18, 2013. Last year, the Brandywine River Museum-along with more than 120 other AAMD member museums across North America-participated in Art Museum Day. "It is a pleasure for us to join our AAMD colleagues across the country in a celebration of art," said Brandywine River Museum director Thomas Padon. "The museum's renowned holdings of American art affirms the creative brilliance of generations of artists who have been influenced by and worked in the Brandywine Valley," Padon added.
