Mattatuck Museum combines art and regional history in downtown Waterbury.

Its galleries connect creative work with the industries, people, and communities of the surrounding Naugatuck Valley. Changing exhibitions provide different reasons to visit, while the museum's local focus gives context to the city beyond its industrial architecture.
Check current exhibitions, admission, and visitor hours before arriving. The exterior photograph records an earlier view of the museum building, which has since undergone renovations. Programs and group visits can require separate arrangements, and collection highlights should not be assumed to be on display at every visit.
