Don't Dawdle NorWalk Here - Run! Norwalk (Google Maps Location) April 18, 2009 2012 Update: We revisited the aquarium (again, with extended family, this time from Seattle) and were very impressed with the massive new reorganization of the joint - not reflected on this page. Some stuff got shuffled around, but all … [Read more...]

145. District No. 1 Schoolhouse
No Matter How Bad Their Team, They’re Still Number 1 Bethlehem (Google Maps Location) December 5, 2009 As you can imagine, it is indeed rare for me to find out about a museum I was unaware of. It is far more rare to find one while driving around doing other stuff. And it is exceedingly rare to find one while … [Read more...]
116. Fairfield Academy and Old Barn Exhibit
This One’s For the Gipper Fairfield (Google Maps location) June 13, 2009 Fortune smiles on CTMQ. Either that or perhaps due to the fact that I’m always going to museums and driving all over the state, I get access to certain places and things that others rarely do. Such was the case on Open House Day at the … [Read more...]
109. Connecticut Museum of Glass
A Bit Glassy Eyed Coventry, (Google Maps location) May 30, 2009 I have revisited this place and it's a real museum now. Update forthcoming. Screw it. I’m forging ahead and writing this post. Why the hesitation? For starters, the Connecticut Museum of Glass is not open. Okay, so why bother pretending I … [Read more...]
American Clock & Watch Museum
Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock... The Countdown to 100 Museums! Bristol (Google Maps Location) April 17, 2009 Amazing. What I should write is, "Go to the American Clock and Watch Museum yourselves - even if you don't give a hoot about clocks or watches. I can't do it justice." Unfortunately, by virtue of being … [Read more...]
130. Buz Russell’s Farm and Rural Life Museum
Let's Generate some Buz For This Museum Woodbury (Google Maps Location) July 24, 2009 I always feel cheap when the title pun is so easy. Oh well, I'll get over it. What I'll never get over is how many museums there are in Connecticut and that feeling of elation I still get when discovering ones I didn't know … [Read more...]
Museum Visits
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 the CTMQ Town Guides: everything to do in the state … [Read more...]
138. Hartford Medical Society Historical Library
Make No Bones About It... It's Back! Farmington (Google Maps Location) September 10, 2009 The waffling is over. I'm giving this place its own pedestal to stand on as a separate museum visit. Sure, the collection is pretty much a scaled down version of a previously visited museum, but I think it's important to … [Read more...]
101. Action Wildlife Foundation
Lights! Camera! Action Wildlife! Um... Camera? Goshen (Google Maps Location) April 25, 2009 This website depends mightily on pictures. Even though they are generally terrible, they give those who just scan these long-winded posts something to look at, I actually use them to frame the story. Since I hardly ever … [Read more...]
114. Thomas J. Walsh Art Gallery
A Quick One Fairfield (Google Maps Location) June 13, 2009 Oh man. I'm busted. Busted, busted, busted. You see, with art museums I rely heavily upon their websites to better be able to describe the collections semi-intelligently. So far, I've been able to "get by" via this method. However, as I sit here … [Read more...]
