Mattatuck Museum

Mattatuck Museum Review

The pieces in this fine collection of 19th- and 20th-century paintings and sculptures by artists who have lived or worked in Connecticut range from the 19th-century folk paintings of Erastus Salisbury Field and one of the celebrated "iceberg" paintings of Frederic Church to works by modern masters such as Josef Albers and Alexander Calder. The museum's Brass Roots exhibit looks back at the lives of the leaders and workers who transformed Waterbury into one of the nation's leading industrial centers. Within the Mattatuck, the Waterbury Button Museum exhibits approximately 10,000 of these miniature works of art from Waterbury and around the world. Also here is a 300-seat performing arts center and charming museum café.
