The Brandywine Conservancy and Museum of Art is gearing up for a roughly $100 million overhaul that organizers say will completely transform what it feels like to visit the Chadds Ford campus. At the heart of the plan: a new freestanding museum building, bigger and more flexible galleries, and a fresh web of trails that will knit the museum more tightly into the surrounding landscape and the Wyeth family studios. Leading the charge are an internationally known architect and a high-profile landscape team.

Kengo Kuma & Associates is heading the design, working alongside landscape architects Field Operations and local partner Schwartz Silver. The plan calls for a freestanding new museum of roughly 40,000 square feet and renovations to the existing mill building, all set within a 325-acre public preserve that will add public acreage and overhaul circulation across the site, according to The Art Newspaper.
