Shelburne Museum, located in Shelburne, Vermont, sits in Vermont's scenic Lake Champlain Valley as a large cultural complex focused on art, design and Americana, housing more than 100,000 works across 38 exhibition buildings, 25 of which are historic and relocated to the grounds. The collection spans works by Monet, Manet and Degas alongside a notable folk-art array that includes trade signs, weathervanes and quilts. The campus offers seasonal demonstrations from May through October, such as blacksmithing and print shops, tours of the historic steamboat Ticonderoga, and rides on a genuine 1920s carousel. In 2013, the Pizzagalli Center for Art & Education expanded the facility with two galleries, a classroom and an auditorium for lectures and events. The museum serves a broad audience of art lovers, families, and students seeking educational and cultural experiences, leveraging its historic buildings and living demonstrations. In 2024, Shelburne Museum announced a partnership with the Olivia & Leslie Rainbow Foundation to launch a visual arts education program at a Hinesburg Community School.
