246. Hartford History Center & ArtWalk

January 30, 2013 by Steve Leave a Comment

ArtKayak Hartford Public Library, Hartford (Google Maps location) January 8, 2013 I have a few pages that concern libraries here on CTMQ. More than a few, actually. Not all are about those which contain museums or museum-like places either. I’ll let you poke around and find others if you’re interested. Ah, … [Read more...]

Lions and Tigers and Sharp Metal Edges, Oh My! Kent (Google Maps location) September 15, 2012 Having been to 240 museums so far in Connecticut, it stands to reason that I've met some really interesting and talented people.

It’s Just… Just So… I Can’t Think of the Word Woodbridge (Google Maps location) December 2012 CT Museum #244 In what seems to have become an annual tradition, I visited another historic house museum during their December holiday party.

Full Steam Ahead Griswold Inn Art Tour, Essex (Location) November 2012 Connecticut museum visit #241. "Steve, come on man, everyone knows the Gris and everyone knows it's just a restaurant." Really?

October 20, 2012 by Steve Leave a Comment

Zombie Apocalypse Buffet New Haven (Google Maps location) October 2011 & April 2019 I always promised/threatened to bring my son Calvin here someday.

221. Silpe Gallery (UHa)

September 12, 2012 by Steve Leave a Comment

Slip Silpin’ Away West Hartford (Google Maps location) October 4, 2011 Every time I visit an art gallery for CTMQ purposes, I promise myself to write about it before the exhibition ends.

224. Burnham-Hibbard House

July 12, 2012 by Steve Leave a Comment

A Bit Hampered in Hampton Hampton (Google Maps location) December 11, 2011 Writing this website and traveling all over the state sometimes feels a little repetitive. Visiting our 200 or so historic house museums can get, um, let’s say Groundhog Day-ish. So what’s a guy to do to keep it fresh every time out? … [Read more...]

Charles Ives Birthplace Museum

July 8, 2012 by Steve 4 Comments

Bittersweet Symphony Danbury June 2012 2019 Update: No, this wasn’t the 434th museum I visited. It was somewhere around the 175th. But I decided to roll these post-closure “visits” into my general Museum Visits list so I have one less list to worry about. I figure with the defunct visits, it doesn’t really … [Read more...]

I Can’t Stop Crowing About This Place! CAW! CAW! New Haven (Google Maps location) December 5, 2010 I don’t really remember how this place got lost in the hundreds of places I’ve visited and tens of thousands of pictures I’ve taken. But it did.
