The Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art, located near Philadelphia, has announced an ambitious transformation of its 6-hectare campus, aimed at strengthening the connection between art, landscape, historic heritage and conservation. The project will include the renovation of the museum’s historic building, new conservation and landscape interventions by Field Operations, and the creation of a 132-hectare public preserve with 16 kilometres of trails.
The plan also introduces a new 3,716-square-metre museum building designed by Kengo Kuma & Associates in collaboration with Schwartz/Silver Architects. Conceived as a series of four wood-clad pavilions, the building will add 1,300 square metres of gallery space and increase Brandywine’s exhibition capacity by 80%. Construction is expected to begin in spring 2027 and be completed in autumn 2029.
