~ Washington Crossing the Delaware Painting.
On view in the foyer of the Auditorium at the New Jersey State Museum is the painting, "Washington Crossing the Delaware." On long-term loan from the Washington Crossing Foundation, the work is a copy of Emanuel Leutze's original painting, which is in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Commissioned in 1969 by author-historian Ann Hawkes Hutton as a memorial to her late husband, L. John Hutton, the painting was executed by Robert Bruce Williams of Washington, DC, using Leutze's original work as the model.   Visitors to the Museum may view the painting from Tuesday through Saturday, 9 am to 4:45 pm; Sunday, noon to 5 pm.

It is always recommended that you call to confirm any event prior to attending.
