A Full Slater of Art Norwich (Google Maps Location) November 14, 2008 This place absolutely deserves a proper revisit, as they've updated the joint pretty significantly - and because this page doesn't capture the greatness of the Slater. The Slater Memorial Art Museum is a Connecticut Art Trail site Ahhh, my … [Read more...]

81. Yale University Art & Architecture Galleries
Brutal... In a Good Way New Haven November 26, 2008 Hoang and I had taken the day before Thanksgiving off months before in order to make the drive to my parent's house in Delaware. Actually, anyone who drives in Megapolis on the day before Thanksgiving is certifiably insane. The plan was to go down on Tuesday, … [Read more...]
Lutz Children’s Museum
Lutz Kix Butz Lutz Children's Museum, Manchester (Location) October 2008 Connecticut museum visit #79. Ah, the bane of parents' lives: Toddler birthday party invites. Fortunately, being a dad (rather than a mom), I have been able to skip a few. Is that sexist? Yeah, probably. However, once in a great … [Read more...]
91. UConn Contemporary Art Gallery
So This is Where Basket Weaving 101 Was Taught UConn Storrs (Google Maps Location) February 25, 2009 I appreciate two things about this museum. One, its name is clear, concise and to-the-point. Two, it's very, very small. Continuing my full afternoon at UConn's various museums and museum-like places, I … [Read more...]
78. Phelps-Hatheway House Museum
I Saw Anne Hatheway's Underwear Drawer! Suffield (Google Maps location) October 13, 2008 This is embarrassing. On many levels. First, some background: Way back at CTMQ museum number 4, the Butler-McCook House Museum, I was admonished for attempting to take pictures inside the house. The house is owned by … [Read more...]
77. Beckley Furnace
It's Like a Furnace in Here! North Canaan (Google maps location) October 5, 2008 An absolutely brilliant and beautiful Fall day in Connecticut. Grandmom and Granddad up from Delaware watching Damian back in West Hartford. Hoang and I take a leisurely drive west on Route 44 through some of the prettiest October … [Read more...]
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. As it is a permanent gallery that only displays rather than sells, it is therefore a museum. (And really, you'd be hard pressed to argue.) It's … [Read more...]
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. My diamond anniversary museum, if you will, and only my second art museum. At least at the first one, The Housatonic Museum of … [Read more...]
74. Plainville Historic Center
Ah Oui, Ville-de-Plaine Plainville (Google Maps Location) October 1, 2008 Note: All early CTMQ posts have small, vertical, rather terrible pictures. Sorry. There comes a time in every person's life where surprising things become a little bit less surprising. Take, for instance, after going to 73 museums in … [Read more...]
Colton-Hayes Tobacco Barn Museum
No Hayes in this Barn Granby (Google Maps Location) July 2008 This is one of several Salmon Brook Historical Society Museums. Neither my blurry pictures nor the Salmon Brook Historical Society's website (they own the joint) do this place any amount of justice. The Colton-Hayes Tobacco Barn is the largest and … [Read more...]
