The childhood home of Henry Francis du Pont, Winterthur, is the premier museum of American decorative arts.  It has an unparalleled collection of nearly 90,000 objects made or used in America between about 1640 and 1860.  The collection is displayed in the magnificent 175-room house, much as it was when the du Pont family lived there, as well as in permanent and changing exhibition galleries. Now this collection is available for viewing online.
