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. Why can't cool guys have cool last names like Wood? Whatever this place lacks in the naming department, it more than … [Read more...]
95. Middletown Sports Hall of Fame and Museum
Wesleyan Beer Pong Champion Huzzah! Middletown (Google Maps Location) March 16, 2009 Many towns in Connecticut have Sports Halls of Fame to honor their own heroes. The large majority of these are not worthy of this fine blog however, as they are merely a few plaques stuck on the wall of the town hall or Senior … [Read more...]
87. Sessions Woods Educational Center
Burlington Fur Coat Factory? Burlington (Google Maps Location) February 18, 2009 With Damian in the midst of a week long "Winter Break" from preschool, I can take him wherever I darn well please. Today, it was Sessions Woods Nature Center; the only nature center I'm aware of in Connecticut that is closed on … [Read more...]
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. In fact, this gallery is so small, you can walk from the entrance to the … [Read more...]
84. Yale University Collection of Musical Instruments
Lyre! Lyre! Clavicytherium on Fire! New Haven (Google Maps Location) January 29, 2009 Yale is an amazing place. It is renowned worldwide for its academics and famous alumni.

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...]
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...]
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...]
