Wadsworth Antheneum

The Wadsworth Antheneum

Hartford, Connecticut

The Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, the oldest public art museum in the United States, was founded in 1842 by Daniel Wadsworth, one of the first important American patrons of the arts. Its collections of nearly 50,000 works of art span 5,000 years and feature the Morgan collection of Greek and Roman antiquities and European decorative arts; world-renowned baroque and surrealist paintings; an unsurpassed collection of Hudson River School landscapes; European and American Impressionist paintings; modernist masterpieces; the Serge Lifar collecton of Ballets Russes drawings and costumes; the George A. Gay collection of prints; the Wallace Nutting collection of American colonial furniture and decorative arts; the Samuel Colt firearms collection; costumes and textiles; African American art and artifacts; and contemporary art. Daniel Wadsworth planned to establish “a Gallery of Fine Arts,” but he was persuaded to establish an “atheneum,” a term used in the nineteenth-century for a cultural institution with a library, works of art and artifacts, devoted to history, literature, art and science.

The Wadsworth Atheneum

The Wadsworth Atheneum

The Wadsworth Atheneum is the oldest public art museum in the United States with significant holdings of French and American Impressionist paintings, Hudson River School landscapes, modernist masterpieces and contemporary works, as well as extensive holdings in early American furniture and decorative arts. In a distinctive castle-like building in downtown Hartford, Connecticut, the state's capital it is the museum is the largest art museum in the state.

On my visit to the Wadsworth I wanted to photograph the Samuel Colt gun collection. All I can say is that it was AWESOME!!! Unfortunately, photography of this exhibit was not permitted.
