Any art, history, or art history enthusiast will absolutely love this museum. It doesn't get crowded, has a very beautiful collection of American art and a smaller but still as beautiful, European art collection. As with all art museums, it's a very peaceful walk through the halls here. Takes about 3.5 hours to go through it all.
We pre-registered for the before hours tour. It was amazing, and fun! There were only 3 of us on the tour, and while there were additional staff in the museum, it felt like we had the place to ourselves. Being able to see these pieces in person was definitely the highlight, but also some interesting lesser known pieces were fun to learn about, and exploring the cabinet of curiosity gave me so much joy!
I’m accustomed to museums in DC that are usually free, and so I’m annoyed at the expense, but I had a great experience. I went when there were special Christmas trees decorated for a fundraiser at the museum. I loved the creativity of the designs and ended up being extremely pleasantly surprised about how much I enjoyed the other exhibits that are probably there year round. You can get much much cheaper tickets for the last hour before closing, but be warned, you’ll need more than an hour to see and appreciate everything and the staff are kind but prompt about ushering you out at closing time.
This was a great museum to visit. The classical and modern artwork on display was awesome. I also enjoyed the exhibits on display, as well. The docents/students around the galleries were helpful and informative also.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$11–15
Beautiful museum. Great place to spend time in Hartford. The collection was very extensive. Come after 4 pm and it was free admission. I gotta say 1 hr wasn't enough to explore this museum. I learned a lot about art around the world. The staffs were knowledgeable and very friendly. The shop sell cute souvenirs.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entryFree

An excellent value for the price. Classical works from antiquity to the present day. Check out the rotating exhibition each season. Parkign is available for free on the weekend. Be sure to pick up a unique present at the museum gift shop.
This museum is incredible. It has works from the full gamut of famous artists--Caravaggio to Kusama. The Sol LeWitt installation is beautiful and worth the trip alone. I was shocked and impressed at every turn. Don't miss it! Plan to spend at least 3 hours if you want to see everything. There's a cafe that serves food. The library is not currently open but should be opening soon. They have a bunch of free admission opportunities--check their website for more on that.
Stately & imposing, castle formed architecture, filled with truly impressive works of classic and contemporary art. This is a very large, elegant, public museum with very high security and seemingly countless exhibits and displays that inspire, educate, and facinate the viewer. Wear your walking shoes and prepare to climb marble stairways. When you're ready, enjoy the cafe and gift shop. The special art library there may be available at certain times by appointment only. This museum is definitely the prized jewel and rightful pride of Hartford, well worth the visit.
Bigger than I expected, with a nice modern collection and a pretty good Renaissance and Medieval collection as well. The people who work in the galleries are all armed with tablets and are the friendliest docents I've ever encountered in an art museum. Totally unpretentious.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$16–20
