I visited this museum on a rainy day on my visit to Dover. I was happy to see that the museum opened at 9:00 AM as it gave me the opportunity to have a pleasant experience viewing some beautiful American art pieces while waiting for the Legislative Hall to open. I had a pleasant, warm welcome by the museum staff who gave me an overview of the layout of the museum and a bit of history about the art work. Although the museum is quite small in comparison to my local art museum in Denver, I felt it was well worth my time to see it. There were furnishings dating from the late 1600s to 1900 and paintings from 1730 to early 20th century. Beautiful and interesting furnishings and wonderful paintings. I thoroughly enjoyed the special exhibit: Refining the Region: The Landscapes of Bayard T. Berndt. No admission fee but donations are accepted.

If you like art but you want to visit a small museum and not a metropolis like the Met in New York City, the Biggs Museum is a good stop. Expect to spend about 1 hour if you take your time looking through the artwork. Also, the museum is free (or was when I visited).

Nice small museum with a friendly staff . A tad boring though. A lot of old furniture on 2nd floor. My son joked saying he felt like we walked into an ikea. Visit if in the area. Free but certain area has a fee .

Wonderful collection of American Art in a charming building in Downtown Dover near all the heritage sights in the state capital.

Eleven of us took a guided tour of the Museum, threat was great as well as the furniture of different periods. This tour could have been better if the guide could have given us more insight to the artists rendition of what he was telling us through his art, the place was very clean and in good condition. If you are in Dover and have time you should visit the museum.

If you admire Americana (American colonial furniture) and American art, the Biggs has some beautiful collections. It's been recently remodeled and enlarged. There are always changing exhibits of American artists and a permanent collection of American silver and furniture. It's right off the Green in Dover, Delaware, and worth a visit. It's not very large, so it's easy to do it in part of a day. You can see the Green, The Air Mobility Command Museum (a must for aircraft buffs) and have plenty of time left over to head over to Annapolis later in the day.

The American treasures at the Biggs - fine historic furniture & silver, surrounded by choice 19th & 20th century art with several exceptionally lovely selections from the Hudson River School - exemplify the charm of small manageable regional museums. Although there is no audio guide, descriptions are informative & a small gift shop offers interesting literature & gifts.

First, admission is free. Second, the staff was enthusiastic about the art. Third, the art is really top-notch. We got there with only 30 minutes before they closed, but my daughter (11) loves art so she pestered me to go in. So glad we did! The lady at the front counter asked us lots of questions and then took us on a brief tour of the museum. We loved the old furniture and my daughter especially loved the grandfather clocks. They did have a children's activity room, but we didn't have time to really enjoy it. Great afternoon.
