11/2020 Hidden gem with amazing art. Absolutely exceeded my expectations & another trip is definitely in order. So much to see!! 07/2022 Second visit this past weekend & another phenomenal trip. So much different art now and another themed exhibit on the second floor. Can't wait to see what's there next time!

I liked the paintings. My favorite was the Feast of the Redeemer. The benches were cool, each one having a unique design to match the theme of the room it is in. The gift shop had some cool gifts. Although, if you are buying something wooden, check for dents; the cat puzzle I bought was the only perfect one in the store.

Very stunning and surprising museum in New Britain. I really loved the current feature gallery showcasing the late works of Helen Frankenthaler and their showcase of prominent and up and coming Connecticut artists. Particularly interesting selection of modernist works.

You can go in and buy the tickets like you normally would. I don't believe you need to preregister.

I'm looking for information on or someone to restore an Allen Fontaine oil painting. Can anyone help?

Hotel or other accommodations within walking distance of museum? Public transport in area?

Christine Crawford | May 13, 2019
Lawrence McFarland-Groves | May 14, 2019

Not aware of any accommodations within walking distance, but that doesn't mean there aren't any. Museum is on a side street next to a large park, so I would imagine there is public transportation within a block.
