About Wharton Esherick Museum

The Wharton Esherick Museum preserves the studio and residence that the American artist Wharton Esherick built on a hillside in Malvern, Pennsylvania. Esherick worked across many art forms but is best known for sculptural wooden furniture. Visitors join guided tours of the studio interior and grounds, which the museum keeps close to how Esherick left them. The site is a National Historic Landmark for Architecture. Tours must be booked in advance, and walk-in visitors are not accepted.
