About this Event
Rockwood Park & Museum welcomes the Delaware Museum Association for a fall meet up featuring the exhibit Abandoned Mansion.
Step beyond the threshold of time into Abandoned Mansion, an immersive exhibition set within the hauntingly ruined halls of Rockwood. The Rural Gothic home, once opulent and full of life, now wears its history in ruined fragments. Wander through rooms thick with cobwebs, where broken statues stand like ghostly guests, and forgotten furniture slouches under the weight of neglect. From faded portraits to crumpled chandeliers, visitors are invited to explore the emotional and physical erosion of a once-grand home. Abandoned Mansion blurs the line between fantasy and showcasing the importance of preserving the past, an exhibition where brokenness is not just seen—but deeply felt.
Join DMA members for light refreshments, conversation, and a tour of Abandoned Mansion.
Getting There & Parking
Your GPS will stop once you enter the park. When in doubt keep following the arrows on the drive until you come to a large gothic mansion. You’ll go through the lower parking lot and up the hill. At the fork, follow the arrows to the right. This is the carriage house parking lot. Keep following the arrows through the parking lot and around the building. As you come up the back of the building you will see the Museum at the top of the hill on your right. The closest parking will be a strip of about 10 parking spots on your left. If these are full, wrap back to the carriage house parking lot by taking a left at the stop sign.
The entrance to the museum has a sign out front but it is inside the walled courtyard with the market lights.
