Nice experience very interesting museum

In reality, you could make a very quick trip here and only see the most important things here--The Constitution, The Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights. With a bit more time, there are other exhibits to see, especially if you are interested in the archiving process and what gets stored in the National Archives. For families with younger children the Boeing Learning Center is a nice place with activities and hands-on materials. The staff there are keen to explain things and are clearly devoted to their vocations.

Considering that the place is free, it provides an amazing experience. You can see the originals of American Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence and Constitution all within 15 minutes, if you have planned your route. There are other interesting exhibits, but these three are highlights and definitely worth a visit.

It is a pretty small museum and there isn't much to see there. It has a nice layout. It will take less than an hour to go through all 3 floors.

The nearby city of Dover is home to the Biggs Museum of American Art, which features many artworks by American artists. As you browse the museum and its different exhibits, you will see a range of styles and genres reflecting periods dating back to the 18th century. Each piece has its own story that allows visitors of all ages to learn about art and how it shaped American culture.

Beautiful building and so many things to look at. However, the security personnel are extremely rude and yell constantly. Also, it is a complete free for all to try and see the documents. Everybody crowds around the documents and stands there forever, not allowing anyone else to see the documents. Need to execute a better option of allowing everyone to see the documents fairly.

A lot of modern art, and interesting historical pieces. There's an elevator, and you have to pay a small fee to enter. The people there will tell you the layout, and send you on your way.

The new showings and updates are Great! I highly recommend viewing them!

This is a great place to see historical relics of the area as well as modern artists.

A great little art museum that has some pretty furniture and paintings. One of the receptionist even suggested other things for my girlfriend and I to go see and was both informative and extremely helpful.

Amazing variety of art on display

Worth at least one visit to celebrate US history. See the Declaration of Independence, constitution, and bill of rights. Room is dark and cold to help with preservation. No photos allowed at all. Entry was simple enough once I found it and staff was quiet but helpful.

Washington DC is a land of museums. You have a lot of places to visit in DC which has a huge number of historical archives. This was one such place with a lot of artifact's to see. One would need around half a day to cover this place, that too if you do it in a hurry. The place has so many sculptures and paintings, including Ginevra de benci the only paining of Leonardo da Vinci in the United States of America.

An absolute gem of a museum in the heart of Dover. I became a member shortly after moving to the Dover area and am extremely pleased by the first class presentations at this modestly sized museum. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and I am amazed at the range of exhibits that they put on throughout the year. I particularly enjoy the exhibitions with local artists.

Awesome tribal heritage art celebration to include the presentation of the Native Americans of Delaware State Proclamation.

Wonderful art museum with so much to look at! Definitely worth an afternoon. Also free for students

Nice little local museum. Sometimes they have really interesting rotating exhibits too. The first Saturday of the month is always free too, which is nice.

Hidden gem of Delaware,very thoughtful and multiple types of art work and historic furniture.

I had never heard of this place, but when my colleague suggested, I had to go My husband and I took a Saturday to wander around a couple of museums in Dover. By far, the Biggs Museum was our favorite. There was an Audobon exhibit when we were there along with pagers from children's books. I intend to go back soon. The exhibits change often. I'm not sure of the entrance price as I got us a Groupon, but didn't need it. Pro tip: The first Saturday of every month is free

A delightful little gem I had previously overlooked. I particularly enjoyed the Milton Downing exhibit.

Very nice. The displays were fun to see. Biggs Museum is great for handy caped people to get from one floor to another.

I love the fact that DC museums do not charge for entrance fees to any of their museums not do they have a suggested donation like New York museums. So much history here. I love these treasures!

Security staff are a joke, while going through the security screening process two security staff screamed and yelled at my child. They soured what was an anticipated visit to see our nations founding documents into a terrible experience. The security staff needs to take a class on sensitivity training. What an embarrassment to our national treasures.

What an amazing place. Though the entrance is a little confusing. It was surreal to actually see The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, and The Bill of Rights with my own eyes. I wish we'd had more time to explore. Loved the gift shop

The coolest thing about visiting this place is that you get the opportunity to view the U.S. Constitution, The Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights as close as a foot away from you. It's amazing how old and faded these documents currently appear; after witnessing the signatures from our founding forefathers.

Wonderful day! Loved the treasure chest

Amazing building and gorgeous architecture.

Great museum with wonderful children's activities.

Interesting museum of American art collected and donated by Biggs (hence the name). Missed building and decent collection of art.

An impressive building which was made to preserve the national documents. In the exhibition, you can see The Constitution, The Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights. Congratulations to the staff and curators for such an impressive place. I recommend it.

(Translated by Google) Excellent, a place you can not miss, it is located in the central park of Dover, in Downtown, there everything is nice (Original) Excelente, un lugar que no se pueden perder, está ubicado en el parque central de Dover, en el Downtown, ahí todo es lindo

It was a super cool experience seeing the national Archives. My only complaint is the rotunda is a bit unorganized. A line naturally formed for guests to walk around and see all the documents but the staff encouraged people to just walk up to whatever section they wanted to see if there was an opening. It led to some agitation from the other guests and made it a bit unorganized.

Nice array of antique furniture and paintings, but they need to do away with competing videos which had nothing to do with the offering.

The worst place I’ve visited in DC. The staff was rude and pushy with the exception of the employees working in the cafe. I highly recommend visiting the cafe. I was also locked in the building for 10+ and not permitted to leave due to an issue that was not disclosed to guests. I would go to anywhere in DC again except for the National Archives.

AWESOME Museum and worth the $8!!!

The people there helped me to understand the art to a more deeper level. The Stephen alehouse gallery was excellent . If you haven't been you need to go!

Interesting, paintings and artifacts all the way back to the 1600s. It is three levels. You can use stairs or elevator. Take your time so you can see it all and read about all the items

Interesting compact Exhibiting works change Always fascinating Staff is stiff. They could be more friendly and welcoming...not all but a few . Come visit this enlightening place

Good exhibits

Awesome museum. I was amazed by those big statues and paintings.

Beautiful art! Fantastic group of people working here

Delaware are you aware of the air supply and the television?

Excellent exhibits and fun for the grand kids and us.

I had a wonderful time here.

Very welcoming

Really nice art. Really liked the art from our local artist.

While I don't have have enough culture to fully appreciate the pieces in this collection, hence the visit in the first place, even I was able to be drawn in by the history on display.

Good variety. Friendly staff

Nice place

Beautiful pieces of art, peaceful ambiance.

The cost of ten dollars per person was expensive. Art was ok. Enjoyed the furniture and sliver and porcelain dishes and other housewares better.

Everyone was helpful!

Real nice staff very interesting

Small museum with intimate events

What you should know about the Biggs Museum is too register for memberships while you can enjoy the different types of genre that it has to offer from the family Our Story Studios Llc
