About Demuth Museum

Demuth Museum of Art in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, United States, is a museum dedicated to noted American Modernist painter Charles Demuth (1883–1935) located in his former studio and home at 120 East King Street. It is operated by the Demuth Foundation, which also has a building on Lime Street in the Grubb Mansion at Musser Part (formerly the Lancaster Museum of Art), which focuses on contemporary regional art. The Museum offers a rotating view of a permanent collection which includes about 60 Charles Demuth originals - the largest Demuth collection in the world - and 800 historical objects, including letters, documents, photographs, and family ephemera. The Museum grounds also include the family tobacco shop and snuff mill as well as a portion of the garden maintained by Demuth's mother, Augusta.

The double-width properties that include Demuth's home and the tobacco shop were built in 1750. They are a contributing property to the Lancaster Historic District. The Museum is a member of Historic Artists' Homes & Studios, a program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
