My Perfect Day

By Ann Wagner, curator of decorative arts

As a lifelong museum visitor, one of the things I really appreciate about Winterthur is that during a visit, it’s very easy to move from inside to outside, to enter and reenter, to have time outdoors and time inside with all the extraordinary art from the past. At some museums, you have to commit to being inside their vast buildings without a chance to refresh your senses in nature. Winterthur has a great fluidity to it in that way.

My perfect day here would begin with the exhibitions because I enjoy being in the galleries during the quiet time of day–even though as a curator, I am pleased to see them crowded. I especially love Outside In: Nature-inspired Design at Winterthur. This exhibition is a collaboration with the Delaware Museum of Nature and Science. It is stimulating to see how these different collections can be integrated and appreciated with fresh eyes by two institutions that are across the street from each other.

The first sight that gets me is the little western meadowlark. I’ve never seen one alive, so I can’t help but imagine how incredibly bright and yellow its feathers were then. It’s a yellow that Henry Francis du Pont clearly loved. That color will stay in my imagination when I go back into the garden to listen for birds and think about the creature habitats on the grounds around the museum. Artistic imaginations are so inspired by our environment, and I am proud that Winterthur is working to protect the corner of Delaware that we are in.

After saturating myself with all the thoughts and lush visions encountered in the museum galleries, I would next take the tram or the shuttle back to the parking lot, pick up my picnic lunch from my car, then take a good stroll through the garden and landscape.

One of my favorite spots is Oak Hill. I love it not just for the views, but because it reminds me of a colleague who really treasured his time there, Bruno Pouliot. Bruno was one of our conservators, and I like to remember him using his lunch hour, in his wheelchair, to wheel strongly up that hill to just enjoy the vistas.

My afternoon adventure would first include a quick peek at my favorite objects in the Campbells Collection of Soup Tureens on my way back to the museum. These are such over-the-top dining vessels. I always have to say hello to the silver tureen with the boar handles (object 1996.0004.237 A). It’s not everyone’s taste, but I love the line and movement on the surface and the way the whole tureen undulates and reflects light. It’s such a dynamic design, it’s hard to believe it was hammered from silver.

I know the historic house pretty well but even I discover something new each time I am inside. So my next stop would be a house tour to explore that visual time capsule of America’s creative past. Finally, if I still had energy at end of the day, I would take a near-dusk stroll. The other day I saw the full moon rise over the train station. It was picture perfect.

120 Years of Daffodils

Since 1902, Narcissus have helped define the Winterthur Garden. Since March, they’ve been popping up like crazy.

Behold the daffodil.

They appear so commonly in gardens that we almost take them for granted; yet, there are 13 divisions, from large cup, small cup, and split cup to Triandrus, Cyclamineus, and Poeticus, to other species, wild variants, and wild hybrids, each with its unique and sometimes maddeningly subtle variations. They fascinated Winterthur founder Henry Francis du Pont throughout his long life, and for good reason.

“This one has a yellow cup with separate white petals making a very star-shaped appearance. There are some where the petals are a little bit wider but they’re still separate. There are still others where the petals overlap. And several cultivars subtly change color when in flower, so you have to watch them over time,” says Director of Horticulture Linda Eirhart. “I could see where that attention to detail, looking at that and enjoying seeing the differences, might have fascinated him because it really is fun to look at these and try to figure out, are they the same? Are they different?”

Daffodils so enthralled du Pont that he planted them in large drifts across his estate. Those big drifts still thrive in Browns Wood Meadow along what had been his golf course, at the edge of Azalea Woods, above the Quarry Garden, and on the March Bank, Sycamore Hill, Oak Hill, and along the entrance drive to the Visitor Center. In all, more than 500,000 bulbs blossom across Winterthur from late winter through April.

“The great pleasure in a bulb garden is in its permanency,” du Pont wrote in an article from 1915 about naturalizing Narcissi. In the article he notes that he laid out his first daffodil garden in 1902 on the lawn above what is now the museum. “Of the many gardens one can have, there is none which, once planned and planted, gives more satisfactory results with as little upkeep as that in which narcissi predominate,” he said. He so loved his daffodils that he revised the article in 1937 for The American Daffodil Year Book and again in 1961, when it appeared in the The Daffodil and Tulip Year Book 1961.

Many of the daffodils that blossom at Winterthur are historic cultivars from the late 1800s and early 1900s. For the past few years, Eirhart has been working to identify and document them, examining the petals, shapes, sizes, color, and even that subtle color change over the life of the blossom.

The distinctions can be so minute, du Pont did not mention certain cultivars in his articles because identifying them was so difficult. “Everybody has different likes in their flowers,” Eirhart says. “I’ve grown to love these older historic cultivars and the subtle differences between them.” Eirhart notes that they’ve become one of her favorite flowers and they herald a special time of year in the garden.

“When the daffodils are in flower, the cherries, the early azaleas, the magnolias, and the quince will also all be in bloom, so I automatically associate daffodils with all the wonderful trees and shrubs that are in flower too. It’s a beautiful time at Winterthur.”

Winterthur is one of the few places in the country where you can see so many daffodils. Find out for yourself while the daffodils are in bloom through April or enjoy daffodil-related events!

Azaleas and Bluebells are dazzling in Azalea Woods, Upper Peony Garden and sprinkled throughout the Garden.

Check these out:

Dove Tree: Check the corner created by the back of the glass Soup Tureen corridor & the Library to see the fluttering white bracts of the rare Dove Tree, or Handkerchief Tree (Davidia involucrata var. vilmoriana) in bloom.

Primroses: The Quarry Garden is filled with a tapestry of red, pink, and white primroses (Primula species).

Mayapples: The ‘umbrella’ leaves of mayapples (Podophyllum peltatum) appear throughout the gardens and estate. They are listed only here as they are ubiquitous. Look for plants with a ‘double umbrella’ to find the white flowers hidden beneath.

Dogwoods and Doublefiles: White or pink dogwoods (Cornus florida species & varieties) are in bud or in bloom throughout the Estate including the edge of Brown’s Woods. They are mentioned only here. The bright white of doublefile veburnums (Viburnum plicatum forma tomentosum) continue the show of white as listed below and throughout the Estate.

Spring Beauties: The native spring beauties (Claytonia virginica) form a white carpet in the back meadow between Clenny Run and Clenny Run road, on the lawn sloping down to the Museum, along the walkway to Icewell Terrace, and on parts of Oak Hill. Their small, star-shaped white to pale pink flowers can be found throughout the Estate.

Violets: Blue, blue & white, & yellow violets (Viola species) are blooming throughout the gardens and fields. They are mentioned only here.

Virginia Bluebells *(Mertensia virginica)* surrounding Enchanted Woods

Check these out:

Trilliums: Vast expanses of great white trillium (Trillium grandiflorum) can be seen in parts of Azalea Woods, and individuals and colonies of them along with yellow trillium (Trillium luteum) and the dark red toadshade and wake-robin (Trillium sessile & Trillium erectum) can be found throughout the gardens.

Magnificent Entry: The Wilson pearlbush (Exochorda giraldii x wilsonii) is creating a lovely white frame for the Latimeria Gate entrance to the Pinetum.

Sundial Garden and Quince Walk: A flurry of flowers with the flowering quince (Chaenomeles cultivars) showing off in blazing red-orange, orange, red and cooler pale orange & white with a supporting cast of white spiraea (Spiraea x arguta & Spiraea prunifolium cultivars) and a carpet of pale blue starflower (Ipheion uniflorum).

An Ocean of Blue: Virginia bluebells (Mertensia virginica) are blooming throughout the gardens with great waves of them in parts of Azalea Woods, in the area of the koi ponds, in Enchanted Woods, on Oak Hill and the Quarry. Italian windflowers (Anemone apennina) form a blue & white carpet extending throughout Azalea Woods, down the March Bank to the stream, & up the opposite bank into Icewell Terrace. They accent other parts of the garden.

Spring Beauties: The native spring beauties (Claytonia virginica) form a white carpet on the lawn sloping down to the Museum and on parts of Oak Hill. Their small, star-shaped white to pale pink flowers can be found throughout the Estate.

Violets: Blue, blue & white, & yellow violets (Viola species) are blooming throughout the gardens and fields. They are mentioned only here.

Check these out:

Trilliums: Vast expanses of great white trillium (Trillium grandiflorum) can be seen in parts of Azalea Woods, and individuals and colonies of them along with yellow trillium (Trillium luteum) and the dark red toadshade and wake-robin (Trillium sessile & Trillium erectum) can be found throughout the gardens.

Magnificent Entry: The Wilson pearlbush (Exochorda giraldii x wilsonii) is creating a lovely white frame for the Latimeria Gate entrance to the Pinetum.

Bloom Report presented by: Pauline Myers

Spring Forward

Spring is a time of renewal and rebirth, our shared reward after cold, shortened winter days. This is especially true at Winterthur, where the emerging blooms transform the landscape into a kaleidoscope of colors and a magnificent feast for the senses.

Beginning in March, the first early spring flowers awaken along the March Bank, which dazzles us with three phases of color—white, yellow, and blue. To walk along the March Bank during those still-chilly early spring days feels like a gift, a promise of what’s to come. As March gives way to April, the 500,000 blooming sunny daffodils, purposefully laid in clusters of various cultivars, begin to take over the landscape with their bright yellow and white blooms. Once those sunny beauties arrive, the crescendo begins, and we delight in one treasure after another, from the exploding color of Azalea Woods in mid- to late April to the rapture of the elegant Peony Garden in mid-May.

Come back all season long as different areas of the garden and estate come alive, demonstrating the resiliency of nature is at its finest.

Object of the Month: Flask

Flask (Pocket bottle)

As the morning sun spills through the east-facing windows of the Hall of Statues, you might catch a glimpse of this object casting a warm amber light. This mold-blown, house-shaped flask, made between 1860 and 1870 by the Whitney Glass Works, holds a spot on my Winterthur favorite objects list because it was made in my hometown of Glassboro, New Jersey. Made to house E. G. Booz’s Old Cabin Whiskey, the flask, to me, does not necessarily look like a cabin but instead a house that is remarkably similar to the small two-story glassworker houses that I can remember seeing in my youth. Those houses have mostly disappeared due to redevelopment. Here’s a fun fact. There is a tradition that these flasks helped popularize the word “booze” despite etymological evidence that the term has been in use since the 14th century, with the spelling we know today emerging in the 17th century.

What Can You Do at Winterthur?

Fellows can utilize the hundreds of thousands of American and European imprints, manuscripts, trade literature, ephemera, photographs, and archives of the Winterthur Library, an independent, world-class research collection. They can also examine Winterthur Museum’s expansive object collections of more than 90,000 artifacts that help us broadly understand four centuries of everyday life in America in a global context. They can look at these collections with specialists and experts and consult with conservators and scientific staff. They can explore 7,500 plant specimens and more than 1,000 acres of landscape and gardens, using these spaces and materials for research, or for respite and recharging. Fellowship privileges and policies can be found here.

Winterthur Research Fellowship staff are eager to talk with you about potential projects and your application. Please contact Academic Programs staff with any questions.

Applications are due January 15, 2025. Applications will be available online on November 1, 2024.

Selected fellows will be notified by April 1, 2025.

Fellowships can be completed between September 1, 2025 and August 31, 2026.

Fellowship Requirements

Fellows are asked to participate in Winterthur’s research community by attending weekly Research Fellowship Program talks.
Fellows are required to give one presentation at the Research Fellowship Program weekly talks. We prefer this requirement to be completed during the residency but will work with fellows to schedule this at a mutually agreeable time after the fellowship is completed. If interested in offering a workshop or other public program, Research Fellowship Program staff are happy to discuss those ideas with you or connect you to relevant Winterthur staff in advance of arriving for the fellowship.
Fellows are asked to compose one social media post about their research and share this via their personal social media channels, tagging #researchatwinterthur and the @winterthurmuse social media account.
Fellows cannot accept teaching assignments or undertake any other major activities during their fellowship tenure.
Residential fellowships require that fellows be on-site at Winterthur at least four days per week in order to fulfill the fellowship. Remote fellows are expected to spend the equivalent time dedicated to their projects.
Fellows may hold non-Winterthur fellowships or grants during the fellowship tenure, including sabbaticals and grants from their own institutions so long as they do not impede their ability to meet the requirements of the Winterthur fellowship.

Postdoctoral Fellowships

Winterthur Postdoctoral Fellowship
Stipend: $4,500 per month.

Applicants at any level or rank who complete their Ph.D. before September 1, 2025, may apply for a four-month fellowship to pursue advanced research or revise research for publication. Applicants may still be Ph.D. candidates at the time of the application (January 15, 2025). Please contact us if you have any questions about qualifying for this fellowship based on the timing in which your degree will be conferred. Hybrid completion of this fellowship may be possible, but we are unable to support fully remote postdoctoral fellowships.

NEH Postdoctoral Fellowship
Stipend: $5,000 per month.

The NEH Postdoctoral Fellowship supports a junior or senior scholar in residence at Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library for a duration of four months. Suitable projects hold the potential for wider impact upon the humanities rooted in research using Winterthur’s collections.

The NEH Postdoctoral Fellowhip has has its own requirements:

• Applicants must have their Ph.D. in hand at the time the application is submitted on January 15, 2025.

Fellows must be continuously in residence at Winterthur for the entirety of their fellowship and on site four days per week. Hybrid or remote completion is not possible for this fellowship.

“Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed by the Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library Research Fellowship Program do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities.”

Dissertation Fellowship

Stipend: $2,500 per month.

Winterthur’s dissertation fellowships support doctoral candidates conducting research or writing their dissertation and receive four-to-eight-month fellowships. Partially remote fellowships are possible. Students completing an external Ph.D. (defined as those who conduct research independently and are not employed by a university) are not eligible for dissertation awards but may apply in the short-term fellowship category.

Short-Term Fellowship

Stipend: $2,500 per month.

Open to independent or institutional researchers and scholars of all levels, including graduate students completing Ph.D. and M.A. degrees. Applicants may apply for fellowship periods ranging from four to six weeks. Partially remote fellowships are possible; however, one half of the awarded fellowship time must be completed in residence.

Applicants need not apply for a named fellowship, but we do periodically designate the following awards:

Faith Andrews Fellowships for the study of Shaker life and material culture
William Seale Fellowship for research related to architectural, landscape and gardens, and White House/Presidential history.

Beginning in 2025, Winterthur’s Research Fellowship Program is a partner institution with the American Trust for the British Library Research Fellowship Program.

The ATBL’s Research Fellowship Program is a short-term, $2,500 research stipend that supports research projects that make use of collections in any department in the British Library.

The Program partners with American collections-based institutions that currently have established, competitive short-term research fellowships or stipends on offer. This is an add-on option to Winterthur short-term research fellowship applications, ensuring that ATBL’s research program candidates conduct research in dialogue between an American collection and that of the British Library. If awarded a short-term research fellowship at Winterthur, the incumbent can later be considered for an ATBL fellowship. ATBL Fellowship recipients will be notified directly by ATBL on or before May 1, 2025.

Please direct any questions about the ATBL Research Fellowship Program to fellowships@atbl.us and check the organization’s website for information about this year’s competitive cycle.

“My lunchtime talk gave me the opportunity to pose very specific questions to a very knowledgeable audience… hearing from a group of experts has made me feel more confident about my own understanding and interpretations.”

Maker-Creator Fellowship

Stipend: $2,500 per month.

HOW WILL WINTERTHUR INSPIRE YOU?

Our four-to-six-week research fellowships are designed for artistic and creative professionals to examine, study, and immerse themselves in Winterthur’s vast collections to inspire their practices . Past fellows have utilized the museum’s landscape, gardens, museum collections, and library for inspiration, precedent, instruction, and material for their creations. See our Current and Past Research Fellows page for a list of all Maker-Creator Fellowship recipients. The Winterthur Fellows’ Projects page has more information on the range of creative projects shaped by experiences at Winterthur.

Winterthur does not have dedicated studio space, but program staff are available to talk through your needs to occasionally accommodate some modest on-site creation.

Maker-Creator applicants are encouraged to contact Academic Programs staff with any questions about project feasibility or the application process and will review drafts of application narratives received before December 1.

Directions to apply can be found here. Maker-Creator Fellowship applicants will need to supply work samples in addition to the application form, essay, bibliography, CV, and letters of reference required for the other fellowships.

“The duet of primary source research and object-driven house tours grounded my time and provided me with a solid, sturdy footing for the next step of translating research into artworks. Without Winterthur’s Maker-Creator Fellowship and all that it encompassed, I know my project might not be a reality.”
Brece Honeycutt, artist and 2023-2024 Maker-Creator Fellow

Remote Fellowship

First created to maintain vital access to collections for fellows during the pandemic, we recognize that other obligations and limits to budgets and time can be barriers to residential research. A limited number of remote fellowships may be available. Research Fellowship Program staff are happy to discuss remote possibilities with you. Please contact AcademicPrograms@winterthur.org before you apply for this option.

“[Winterthur staff] did an incredible job with planning my fellowship and assisting me with finding people and resources that could guide my study… [They] pointed me towards seminal information for this last chapter of my dissertation which has enhanced the chapter greatly.”
Camille Davis, Ph.D. Candidate, Southern Methodist University, 2020-21 Fellow

Affiliated Researchers

We reserve a limited number of spaces for Affiliated Researchers who can provide their own financial support to be in residence. We welcome affiliated researchers at any stage of their career or artistic practice. Benefits of Affiliated Researcher status mirror those of funded researchers with access adjusted to the scope and needs of the project.

There is no application form. An email of interest should be sent to Academic Programs staff with the following information:

details of your current project or research subject
dates of intended time in residence at Winterthur
a copy of your current resumé or curriculum vitae
and a letter of reference that addresses your project, record of accomplishment, and ability to work with a collegial group. If you are working closely with Winterthur staff as part of your project, the letter of reference should come from that staff member.

Requests are reviewed by staff on a rolling basis. Please allow at least two months for processing a status request before the intended start date of your research here.

Recreating a Beloved Dress by an American Couturier

In 1953, American couturier Ann Lowe designed the wedding dress for future First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier’s marriage to John F. Kennedy, a dress that became one of the most recognizable and beloved wedding dresses in America. As a Black designer, Lowe didn’t receive proper credit for her work at the time.

Image (left): Wax flower prototypes. Image (right): Rosette details.

Textile conservator Kate Sahmel accompanied University of Delaware Fashion and Apparel Studies professor Katya Roelse for a recent visit to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston to examine and document the construction of the original dress, which is too fragile to display on a form. Working with University students, Roelse will use the information gathered from this visit to create a reproduction of the dress for the Winterthur exhibition Ann Lowe: American Couturier, opening September 2023.

The dress features several details characteristic of Lowe’s work, such as the ornate rosettes that embellish the skirt, each with a small spray of wax flowers at the center. A blue ribbon hidden under the skirt at the hem was a delightful surprise and completed the dress with a hopeful charm for her new marriage.

Winterthur Bloom Report

Bloom Report #13

March 30, 2022

46 F, Cloudy

Magnolias in Pinetum. The sight and smell is intoxicating!

Check these out:

Blue carpet: A lavender-blue expanse of glory-of-the-snow (Chionodoxa forbesii) extends through Azalea Woods, down the hill towards the Museum and down the March Bank, across the stream and up the hill through Icewell Terrace. In many places, he blue carpet includes royal blue Siberian squill (Scilla siberica).

Dazzling show: This week areas of the garden are aglow in the golden radiance of forsythias (Forsythia x intermedia, Forsythia ovata, Forsythia suspensa, Forsythia viridissima, Forsythia ‘Winterthur’). They start at the upper edge of the visitor parking lot, with masses along the drive behind the carriage houses, along the lower side of Chandler Farm Road below the Fire House, along the Museum lawn edge of the Peony Garden, along the field edge of Azalea Woods, along the Pinetum overlook wall, and on the Quarry edge of Sycamore Hill. The soft yellow glow of winter hazel (Corylopsis ‘Winterthur’, Corylopsis platypetala, Corylopsis spicata, Corylopsis pauciflora) starts with masses of blooms at the upper edge of the visitor parking lot and along the Winterhazel Walk, with accents in the woods from the Visitor Center to the Underpass, at the East Upper Terrace of the Museum, and along the Quarry walkway.
