Event details

Shelburne Museum’s season opening is a spring reset in the best way: fresh air, wide lawns, and galleries that mix art, Americana, and unexpected treasures. Families can wander at their own pace, popping indoors when the breeze picks up.

Make it a two-stop day by adding a quick detour to nearby parks on Lake Champlain, or pair your visit with Shelburne Village for lunch. Comfortable shoes are a must.
