“The Connecticut Art Passport/Art Trail was a really interesting and fun way to explore Connecticut. It led us back to museums we have visited many times before, but more importantly showed us many wonderful places we didn’t know about. The mix of historic sites related to art and conventional museums gave us a variety of perspectives on art in Connecticut. In particular I enjoyed finding connections between the places we visited, like finding paintings by Childe Hassam in New Britain and Hartford after learning about him at the Florence Griswold Museum. Having the Art Passport was definitely a boon to our budget, and there was just something very satisfying about having the passport “stamped” like we were traveling on an art adventure.”
