What a nice find…read more Took my daughter here today, as she enjoyed our trip to MoMA a few years ago, and she likes to look at artwork, plus, she recently got into the art board game Dixit, so I figured this would be a nice treat. The museum is small, about four rooms for exhibitions which take no more than an hour to traverse. The staff is friendly and inviting, and each room has an appointed docent to help explain things and tell you about the artwork. we liked the variety - it's not just paintings, and it's not just sculpture - there is a blend of everything, and like most museums there is an explanation of each piece nearby so you can have information and draw your own observances. On our visit, the whole museum was virtually empty - we saw a total of four other guests - plenty of quiet space to enjoy the displays. What my daughter liked the most was the interactive studio (no extra fee) where guests at the museum can create their own art from a room full of materials - it's like going back to the art room of your old elementary school! My brother and I got in on the creative process and sat at a table along side my daughter and enjoyed some art time with cray pas, scissors, papers of all kinds, and various tapes and glues. My daughter then donated her art piece to the museum and the docents delightfully told her they would hang it up in the art studio for other guests to see! It was a very nice gesture for them to tell her this, and the smile on her face was worth the price of admission.

The staff is very knowledgeable and helped so much with our journey through this magical place! From the outside it looks so small, but there is sooooo much to see on the inside. We didn't even finish the whole thing in the 2.5 hours that we were there. I loved the prison program art. How amazing!! I hope to be able to volunteer here one day :) Also, I must note that we ended up being there a little later than 5pm, but they didn't rush us to leave and wished us a nice day once departing. I can't wait to come back!

Art kits and a stack of cushions are found on the porch, and three different Junior Ranger activities --and a unique JR badge--await.

This is a perfect spot for a picnic, so plan on making the time here! Depending on docent rotation, JA Weir's and Mahonri Macintosh Young's studios are also open seasonally. As an American Impressionist spot, you might find easels throughout your walk, and those artist kits will have you joining the plain air painters.

While home in CT on a short vacation, I wanted to do some genealogy research that I have not been able to complete due to living across the country. I walked in later in the afternoon yesterday and had just missed their resident researcher. I was asked if I could come back today where I could spend some time going through files. I went back in this morning and was blown away by the amount of information that I found. I already knew that I was eligible to work on membership to the DAR for my family, but Diane, the resident researcher, went above and beyond to find many other details about our family from even farther back than that. Deeds, a family book of genealogy, and pictures were amongst the finds today. I grew up in Danbury, but never really got into the history of the city until over the past few years. I admire what the historical society is doing and that they will take you in with open arms and help you with your research. They survive on donations so make sure that you donate something for the time that they give to preserve the history of the town.

The two associates at the front were super helpful and patient as well, you had to sign up for a waiting list for the virtual reality and they made sure everybody got a chance. My nephew is autistic and they were really patient with him which I appreciated. The reason for the 4 star review is the fact that it was expensive for three of us and not a lot of exhibits. It was hands one which I loved but the main reason we went there was for the drones and they were broken when we got there. I am hoping to go back when the drones are available but for the price, not sure yet. The kids had a really nice time though.

It's a cash or check honor system, which is a miracle to still find these days... and something very special that every child should get to experience, understand and appreciate. When cows are out in the pasture enclosure closer to the dairy store entrance area, this is also very cool to see.

This is my go to framing space for the customer service and disposition Patrick lends to his professionalism. I had no idea how to frame a complicated a piece and he guided me to exactly the perfect frame to make the pieces oh so eloquent.

Literally hundreds of mats and frames and presentations to choose from it is daunting but Patrick synthesizes the piece into a perfect phrase matching the frame to the art creating an aura of perfection.

Their professionalism and attention to detail are unmatched. Most recently, they framed my 30" x 40" artwork and took special care throughout the entire process.
