114. Thomas J. Walsh Art Gallery

August 28, 2009 by Steve 2 Comments

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...]

93. William Benton Museum of Art

July 28, 2009 by Steve 2 Comments

A Real Bento(n) Box of a Museum Storrs February 25, 2009 The William Benton Museum is a Connecticut Art Trail site. I'd been to one of Yale's two large art museums and a couple smaller galleries at Wesleyan. I wondered how our state's flagship public university would stack up? Actually, I didn't wonder … [Read more...]

UConn Dairy Bar

July 24, 2009 by Steve 1 Comment

I Dream of Jonathan. There. I Said It. UConn Dairy Bar, Mansfield May 24, 2009 & Other Visits CTMQ is far too big and often unwieldy. It has sprawled from being just about museums into all sorts of directions and sections. I recently began eating Jane and Michael Stern's "Eat Before You Die" Roadfood items across … [Read more...]

127. UConn Public Art Collection

July 23, 2009 by Steve 2 Comments

Art: It's Everywhere! 30 pieces at UConn at Storrs, Stamford, Torrington, Farmington, Hartford, Avery Point Various Dates How can a museum span six towns across the state? When I say it can. UConn has a terribly unpublicized collection of top notch public art at several of its campuses, as well as the law … [Read more...]

UConn Dairy Bar Cheese

July 23, 2009 by Steve 7 Comments

Juustoleipa! Juustoleipa! Cheese at The UConn Dairy Bar, Mansfield Since Connecticut's cheese makers haven't banded together yet to create the Connecticut Cheese Trail (a la the CT Wine Trail), I'm striking out on my own. And my first strike was at my alma mater: UConn. And the moderately famous Dairy Bar to … [Read more...]

92. Homer Babbidge Library & Dodd Center

July 14, 2009 by Steve Leave a Comment

"She's dead. Wrapped in plastic." UConn Storrs (Google Maps Location) February 25, 2009 A few of the Babbidge Library pictures are from Jerry Dougherty's incredible compendium of photos of EVERYTHING in Connecticut. Stop hurting your brain; my title makes no sense whatsoever. Well, it does to me but not to … [Read more...]

94. St. Joseph College* Art Gallery

June 1, 2009 by Steve Leave a Comment

Gettin' Nasty West Hartford (Google Maps Location) March 11, 2009 Update: This is now the "Art Gallery at the University of St. Joseph" as the school stepped it up a bit in 2012. Also, it is now part of the Connecticut Art Trail. I really should revisit this place and get better pictures, as it's only a few … [Read more...]

UConn Greenhouses

Biology: The Study of Life... And What is More Important Than LIFE?! UConn Storrs (Google Maps Location) February 25, 2009 Ahhhh, home. Like the plants on view, I was rooted in this very building for four years. The smells... The sights... It was nice to be back "home." Yes folks, I hold a biology degree from … [Read more...]

How great Thou art, How great Thou art! New Haven (Google Maps Location) November 26, 2008 The Yale Art Gallery is a Connecticut Art Trail site The Yale Art Gallery is huge.
