Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art

Fodor's Review:

With more than 50,000 artworks and artifacts spanning 5,000 years, this is the oldest art museum in the nation. The first American museum to acquire works by Salvador Dalí and the Italian artist Caravaggio, the large museum also houses 7,000 items documenting African-American history and culture in partnership with the Amistad Foundation. Particularly impressive are the museum's collections of baroque, impressionist, and Hudson River School artists.

  • Cost: $10
  • Open: Wed.-Fri. 11-5 (1st Thurs. of most months until 8), weekends 10-5
