The story
Demuth Museum of Art in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, United States, is a museum dedicated to noted American Modernist painter Charles Demuth (1883–1935) located in his former studio and home at 120 East King Street. It is operated by the Demuth Foundation, which also has facilities on Lime Street focusing on contemporary regional art at the former Lancaster Museum of Art. The Museum offers a rotating view of a permanent collection which includes about 60 Charles Demuth originals and 800 historical objects, including letters, documents, photographs, and family ephemera. The Museum grounds also include the family tobacco shop and snuff mill as well as a portion of the garden maintained by Demuth's mother, Augusta. The house was built c. 1820 and is a contributing property to the Lancaster Historic District. The Museum is a member of Historic Artists' Homes & Studios, a program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
In addition to 10,000 annual visitors, the museum is regarded as an education center for students, with programming and exhibition opportunities from primary through postsecondary, a research site for scholars, who access the archives and library for research purposes, and an enrichment location for adults, with workshops and classes, bus tours, and artist talks. Admission is by donation.
