Caught in a Webb of Rockin’ Excellence Middletown (Google Maps location) May 18, 2011 I take great pride in my massive list of Connecticut museums.

255. Gores Pavilion
All Gores, No Gore New Canaan (Google Maps location) October 13, 2013 I love my wife. Like, I love her silly. And you know what the best part is? She loves me back.

Finnish-American Heritage Society Museum
"Imma Let You Finnish" Canterbury (Google Maps location) February 2013 While there is always a danger in using pop culture references in my titles, as they are fleeting things, I just couldn't resist this one. Don't like it? How about this... You have to use the restroom really badly, so you're Russian. When … [Read more...]
Neil’s American Dream Museum (Closed)
Neil Had a Dream West Hartford June 1, 2011 This museum is now closed as Neil has sadly passed away. RIP, buddy. Every now and then this website affords me entry into places that are beyond description. I get to meet people who might fly under most radars. It’s not that Neil Sakow or his museum were secrets … [Read more...]
Glebe House Museum
Glebe Glorp Gleep Woodbury (Google Maps location) June 18, 2011 At the time of my visit, Glebe House (it’s just Glebe House like Eurythmics) was a no photos museum. Therefore, my photos are horrible and nonsensical because they were all furtive. But the story here is not the bones or furniture of the house, but … [Read more...]

Brunn Barn Museum
Don’t Eat the Brown Acid… Or Anything Else Brown Woodstock (Google Maps location) September 2012 Some readers are probably aware of my dislike for Connecticut's town fairs.

246. Hartford History Center & ArtWalk
ArtKayak Hartford Public Library, Hartford (Google Maps location) January 8, 2013 I have a few pages that concern libraries here on CTMQ. More than a few, actually. Not all are about those which contain museums or museum-like places either. I’ll let you poke around and find others if you’re interested. Ah, … [Read more...]
240. Sculpturedale
Lions and Tigers and Sharp Metal Edges, Oh My! Kent (Google Maps location) September 15, 2012 Having been to 240 museums so far in Connecticut, it stands to reason that I've met some really interesting and talented people. I can add sculptor Denis Curtiss to that growing – but distinctive! – list. I can’t … [Read more...]
Thomas Darling House
It’s Just… Just So… I Can’t Think of the Word Woodbridge (Google Maps location) December 2012 CT Museum #244 In what seems to have become an annual tradition, I visited another historic house museum during their December holiday party.
