New Britain Museum of American Art presents a broad view of American painting and other artistic traditions beside Walnut Hill Park.
Its collection and changing exhibitions make the museum a substantial cultural destination within central Connecticut.
Look at the current exhibition and program calendar before choosing a day, especially if you want a tour, lecture or family activity. Allow time to compare works from different periods rather than moving quickly through the galleries. The neighboring park offers a separate outdoor experience, while tickets and scheduled museum activities should be confirmed through the operator.
