Wharton Esherick Museum
The Wharton Esherick Museum seeks to preserve the legacy of one this country’s most innovative artists who reimagined “home” through the creation of his hand built studio and his furniture, utensils, and other objects that expressed his commitment to artful living. The museum’s mission is to “preserve, maintain, and exhibit the artistic creations of the late Wharton Esherick so that the general public may gain enjoyment, education, and inspiration from Esherick’s life work.” Located in Chester County, Pennsylvania, the museum campus, which is comprised of multiple buildings, includes Esherick’s home and artist’s studio, which he designed and built over several decades.
