This website began as Connecticut MuseumQuest in 2006 and only later became CTMQ. Regardless, museums were and are the core of what I do. And fortunately for all of us, Connecticut has a ton of museums - two tons if you define them loosely like I do! Also, see: CTMQ Town Guides, everything to do in the state … [Read more...]

285. The Paul Mellon Arts Center Galleries
Another Museum Off My Honeydew List Wallingford (Google Maps location) February 28, 2015 I have a weird and perhaps unhealthy fascination with Connecticut's $60k+ per year private boarding schools.
