Hill-Stead Museum

It is a beautiful well- manicured place place, no doubt. Not the most friendly place and the air felt snobbish somehow with well dressed all white people, either staff or associated with the place, walking around ignoring the visitors. The place has a lot of valuable art, none of which are marked with names or dates...you had to rely on the guide who was good. It smelled like new money trying to get status with things, purchasing art made else where than US. It did not feel like a collection of passion for art. Well known Monet and Degas's paintings are there. You cannot take pictures inside.

Cannot take interior photos. Fascinating that he recognized masterpieces and purchased art from artists in the 1880s. Really special destination. Highly recommend.

Was going to tour,, but they are still adamant that one must be fully masked, regardless of vaccination status. So passing on by. In the dark ages here, unlike rest of the country.
