Lyman Allyn Art Museum

A museum established by a 1926 bequest from Harriet Upson Allyn in memory of her father, Lyman Allyn, a shipping merchant, and opened to the public in 1932. It is affiliated with Connecticut College. Wikipedia puts the permanent collection at about 10,000 objects — European art, American painting from the Hudson River School through Impressionism, and decorative arts, with works by Rembrandt Peale, Gilbert Stuart and Thomas Cole — while the museum's own site gives more than 20,000 works spanning 2,600 years; the two figures have not been reconciled. Open Tuesday-Saturday 10-5, Sunday 1-5.
