Sampler Symposium Mattatuck Museum Regional Sampler Database


Regional History

Coming Home Exhibit

Coming Home: Building Community in a Changing World is a 6000 square foot permanent history exhibit of striking design that gives visitors dramatic you-were-there experiences of the history of the Waterbury region. Visitors of all ages find the new history exhibit fascinating. Come see what they're raving about! The exhibit tells the story of industrialization in Connecticut and the people of the greater Waterbury region. You'll meet people from our past and hear their stories, but this is not just the story of our past. This is a story of America's future!

Connecticut Art

Art Galleries

You can find great works by American Masters in our permanent art galleries. Trace the development of American art in portraits by John Trumbull and William Jennys, landscapes by John Kensett and George Inness and still lifes by Charles Ethan Porter and Emil Carlson. See how artistic styles shifted from realism to impressionism to surrealism, from abstract expressionism to assemblage in art by Peter Poskas, Guy Wiggins, Kay Sage, Alexander Calder, Cleve Gray and Abe Ajay among others. Uncover the story of American Art through the work of Connecticut affiliated artists.
