Serving as a threshold to the A.I. du Pont de Nemours Mansion and Gardens, the Nemours Visitor Center includes reception, ticketing, visitor support, a film room and an exhibition space. Visitors enter the 2.5-acre site from a major thoroughfare and approach the mansion using the formal entrance drive. The Visitor Center announces the presence of this important site. Exhibits are fully integrated into the building and formulated around a timeline that puts the Nemours story into context. The exhibit gallery is fully daylighted enabling views of the estate grounds from the Visitor Center.
