Lyman Allyn Art Museum

Established by a gift from Harriet Allyn in memory of her seafaring father, the Lyman Allyn Art Museum opened the doors of its beautiful neoclassical building in 1932.

Today it houses a fascinating collection of 20,000 objects from ancient times to the present; artworks from Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Europe, with particularly strong collections of American paintings, decorative arts, and Victorian toys and doll houses.

Join us for a GUIDED TOUR of their "American Perspectives" collection, which celebrates the arts of America from colonial times through the 20th century, often through the lens of Connecticut and specifically New London County. It highlights some of the Lyman Allyn’s finest works and most intriguing stories, bringing focus to the unique character of the region and its place in the wider world.

Afterwards you can explore on your own their special exhibition dedicated to photographer Dorthea Lange’s dynamic life and career, focusing on her renowned images of the Great Depression.
