If you are looking to jump into a painting and inspect its anomalies, there is no better place than the Greenville County Museum of Arts. It offers free, rare exhibits to peruse, such as Andrew Wyeth’s All in the Family collection. This exhibit displays pieces from Andrew Wyeth, an American painter, and his entire family. The pieces are connected not only because of the family members' identities and significant hometowns, but also in the evolution of their personal art styles. Check the link below for specific hours for this rare exhibit.
