History
The museum's permanent collection contains forty Demuth works from throughout the artist's career, along with an extensive archive and library. Visitors to the museum can also enjoy the Demuth gardens, planted with many of the same flowers cultivated by the artist's mother and featured in the artist's renowned floral works. Historic buildings depicted in Demuth's architectural works can be seen just outside the artist's studio window and in the city beyond. The Demuth Tobacco Shop, the oldest operating shop of its kind in America, and other historic buildings of the Demuth Complex are all open to the public.
