85. Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library
You Can't Judge a Book - Or Building - By Its Cover Middletown (Google Maps Location) January 29, 2009 This is going to be annoying having to type Beinecke over and over throughout this post.

97. Wallace Barnes and Barbara Hackman Franklin Art Gallery
When Toplessness Goes Very, Very Wrong Farmington (Google Maps Location) April 8, 2009 Continuing my Winter/Spring 2009 spate of campus art galleries, I happened by this teeny tiny one during a writer's event at Tunxis Community College.

76. Ezra & Cecile Zilkha Gallery
Great Art! Middletown (Google Maps Location) October 3, 2008 Fresh off my recently settled upon definition of museums, I'm now tasked with writing up this place.

75. Davison Art Center
The Bizarre and Beautiful Chewbacca Middletown (Google Maps Location) October 3, 2008 Here I am, staring at my chapped fingers asking them to write a coherent post about an art museum.
