The Winterthur Museum and Country Estate is home to the world's premier collection of early American decorative arts, a matchless twentieth-century naturalistic garden, and a world-renowned research library. The Winterthur estate is the former home of Henry Francis du Pont. The highly trained conservation professionals at Winterthur work in one of the finest laboratory and research facilities in the United States. Their commitment to the preservation and conservation of art and historical works extends to teaching in an internationally recognized conservation program jointly sponsored by the Winterthur and the University of Delaware. Begun in 1974, the Master's degree program in Art Conservation is one of only four such programs in the country.
