The front staff was super friendly! The exterior is beautiful and the interior exhibits are well-organized and documented. The stairs were a bit odd, sometimes hard to find, sometimes appearing from no where. A few more maps might've helped as well, but I only noticed one. However, that wasn't much of a problem, as the exhibits wove through each other so seamlessly, it was like watching time progress. I appreciate how there were some exhibits where modern art was displayed with antiques, like in the Rococo room. It threw me off at first but it actually worked really well. Naturally, there were many paintings, but I also really liked how much furniture Biggs had from different eras. I would definitely like to visit again, and I recommend to anyone in or near Dover! (Also, you apparently get free admission as a student,...

Give yourself an hour to appreciate. Staff very helpful. Appreciate the diversity.

11/06/21. Attended the temporary display of Freda Kahlo: Photography. To my surprise, I became disappointed with what was presented. If you are a professional photographer, seeking to find other photographic pictures of uniqueness, this artist does not demenstate this. What you will find here at the Biggs Museum is two dozen photos of Freda Kahlo face. Each photo of her face is surrounded with color but who exactly is taking these photos??? Too much credit is issued to what appears to be a narcissist. Bottom line, although Freda had an accident in her past which incourage her to be photographed, what is...

Popped over to The Biggs Museum of American Art to join interdisciplinary artist Melissa Sutherland Moss for her artist talk on the winning piece “In Between Two '' which is now a part of the museum's permanent collection. The event took place on 5/18/22. Check out Melissa’s website or the museum for info on the works. The staff was amazing and the artist talk went really well. The Visions & Voices exhibit was well curated and had works from photographer Lisa Brown and artist Theda Sandiford! Wow! Barbie will...

While sightseeing in Dover, we did a quick visit to Biggs because they were offering free summer admission. We were impressed with the breadth of their American art and furnishings collection. The period room wallpaper coverings alone are worth a visit. The colors and patterns are so vibrant. It's hard to believe that the designs are hundreds of years old. Their new painting acquisitions and their special exhibit of local contemporary artists' works are also highlights.
