Biology: The Study of Life... And What is More Important Than LIFE?! UConn Storrs (Google Maps Location) February 25, 2009 Ahhhh, home. Like the plants on view, I was rooted in this very building for four years. The smells... The sights... It was nice to be back "home." Yes folks, I hold a biology degree from … [Read more...]

Yale University Art Gallery
How great Thou art, How great Thou art! New Haven (Google Maps Location) November 26, 2008 The Yale Art Gallery is a Connecticut Art Trail site The Yale Art Gallery is huge.

83. Institute of Living Museum
Man, This Museum is Crazy! Hartford (Google Maps Location) January 26, 2009 This little museum has been on my radar since I began this blog. It's one of the first places I knew about that never turned up on any search engines no matter what criteria you used. I was proud of the fact that I was "in the know" … [Read more...]
85. Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library
You Can't Judge a Book - Or Building - By Its Cover Middletown (Google Maps Location) January 29, 2009 This is going to be annoying having to type Beinecke over and over throughout this post.

95. Middletown Sports Hall of Fame and Museum
Wesleyan Beer Pong Champion Huzzah! Middletown (Google Maps Location) March 16, 2009 Many towns in Connecticut have Sports Halls of Fame to honor their own heroes.

87. Sessions Woods Educational Center
Burlington Fur Coat Factory? Burlington (Google Maps Location) February 18, 2009 With Damian in the midst of a week long "Winter Break" from preschool, I can take him wherever I darn well please.

97. Wallace Barnes and Barbara Hackman Franklin Art Gallery
When Toplessness Goes Very, Very Wrong Farmington (Google Maps Location) April 8, 2009 Continuing my Winter/Spring 2009 spate of campus art galleries, I happened by this teeny tiny one during a writer's event at Tunxis Community College. In fact, this gallery is so small, you can walk from the entrance to the … [Read more...]
84. Yale University Collection of Musical Instruments
Lyre! Lyre! Clavicytherium on Fire! New Haven (Google Maps Location) January 29, 2009 Yale is an amazing place. It is renowned worldwide for its academics and famous alumni. That's great, but what I care about is the fact that the campus houses tons of museums. In fact, the university has more museums than most … [Read more...]
80. Slater Memorial Art Museum
A Full Slater of Art Norwich (Google Maps Location) November 14, 2008 This place absolutely deserves a proper revisit, as they've updated the joint pretty significantly - and because this page doesn't capture the greatness of the Slater.
