Specialties: Over a century of American artworks featuring strong collections of colonial portraiture, Hudson River School, Impressionism, nineteenth-century still lifes, a twentieth-century collection including the Ash Can School, early modernists, Precisionists, Social Realists and American Abstract Artists.

Plenty of on-site parking, handicapped accessible, Museum Shop, and plenty of adult and family activities. Established in 1903. "Erected By the People for the Use of the People," the New Britain Museum of American Art is dedicated to serving all people by pursuing excellence in art through collections, exhibitions, and education.
The New Britain Museum of American Art's founding in 1903 entitles the institution to be designated the first museum of strictly American art in the country. That year, a $20,000 gift of gold bonds to the museum's former parent, the New Britain Institute, from industrialist John Butler Talcott, created funds to purchase "modern oil paintings." Subsequent purchases, with advice from New York museums and galleries, further defined "modern" to mean American works of art, now numbering more than 10,236.
The New Britain Museum of American Art has an exciting year planned that includes special events, travel programs, and numerous adult, family and school programs. Visit us at nbmaa.org for more information.
