The Most Exciting Post Holiday Exhibits Near You in Wilmington, DE

That post-holiday lull that echoes out over the world just after the elation of Christmas, the promise of the New Year and the romance of Valentine’s Day can be a bit of a buzzkill. When the Christmas lights come down and the roses in their vases begin to droop, when it’s not quite warm enough to feel like spring, yet the newness of winter has definitely vanished into the now thawing air, it’s easy to feel just a tiny bit down as if the magic has altogether disintegrated.

 

However, in Wilmington, DE’s Live, Work, Play community, the post holiday silence is actually a great time to tap into your intellectual side, stimulating that ever present inner bookworm that sometimes gets lost under the lights of celebration.
