Museum in Hartford, Connecticut

The Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art is one of the outstanding midsize art museums in the U.S.  Located in Hartford’s business district, adjacent to I-91 and I-84, it is a highly worthwhile stopover for travelers. Moreover, lunch in the Museum Café is a treat in itself. Moderately priced, it compares favorably to top-rank stand-alone restaurants, never mind to other museums’ dining options.
 
The Wadsworth’s permanent collection is wide-ranging, with oil paintings and decorative arts being its particular strengths. Better yet, nearly half the museum’s floor space is devoted to high-caliber temporary exhibitions, encouraging repeat visits as these change. The four shows running during our recent visit were equally engaging.  www.wadsworthatheneum.org
