I recently visited the Mattatuck Museum for the first time for a conference. What a great museum. The galleries are so nice. The conference room worked out perfectly. And the staff was wonderful. I plan to visit again soon-- loved the sneak peak of the 1960s clothing store exhibit!! Thanks.
This museum shows world class art work . It also has a very nice restaurant. The staff is very nice and helpful. The curator took time to explain an art exhibit to me.
I visited this museum recently to view the current exhibit about the art colony from Kent, Connecticut. I was surprised at the quality of the other exhibits. The permanent collection on display was very interesting but I was fascinated by the exhibit pertaining to Waterbury and the history of manufacturing there. They also have a great cafe for a quick lunch. Don't miss this museum.
Very interesting for locals to see the history of their city. Also small section of art. I actually spent a lot of time in the button room and was amazed at the display.
Offers many programs about the local area. Tea Room has offered excellent meals to top off a visit with the local past of the area.
Beautiful museum, very unusual exhibits, great collections! A pleasure, had a nice docent and George at the desk was terrific! Had a resident in a wheelchair and they could've have been more accommodating !
The museum was a very pleasant surprise. The building is old and beautiful. When you enter the atmosphere is inviting as are staff. We are so happy that we were able to find this true treasure.We happened to spend a few hours in the industrial history area of the museum and still were not able to take it all in. A wonderful history of Waterbury, Connecticut. The displays are very well done. You just want to spend as much time as possible with each exhibit. We plan on returning to complete the exhibit and to take in the other exhibits at this very lovely museum.We are members of the NBMAA and Mattatuck honors this membership. You can also find a coupon in the Entertain Book. We were happy to give a donation.
If you like history and want to learn about connecticut this a a great start. They have the museum and a nice cafe. You can take a walking tour of the architecture in the city. That in it self is worth it because of the old buildings and the charm. This is a hidden gem in the stae that is not well known.
Mostly about the city if Waterbury, interesting for school children. Not really a tourist attraction
The Mattatuck Museum has an interesting combination of art and displays pertaining to the history of Connecticut. There is a large room full of oil paintings depicting local and historic landmarks and panoramas, a gallery of studies of light and shadow in the woods with snow, and two large galleries of art as well as a video presentaion on the artist. There are various artifacts from Connecticut's history, a rooftop of metal sculpture, and a collection of antique buttons. A variety of interesting things to see!
