Museums

Every Museum in Connecticut
Circa 2000 onward

This is it. The list that started it all. If you’re looking for more than museums in a particular town, please check out the CTMQ Town Guides. Everything on CTMQ is based on our 169 towns. So there are no separate listings for non-towns like Mystic, Danielson, Willimantic, Winsted, Rockville, Storrs, etc. I can’t say how many museums there are in Connecticut, because everyone has a different definition of what a museum is and isn’t. But there are around 700 listed below. I hope to visit and write about them all.
