The New Britain Museum of American Art, located in New Britain, Connecticut, is a mid-sized cultural institution dedicated to American art. Founded in 1903, it is regarded as the first museum in the United States devoted exclusively to American art. Its permanent collection spans more than 8,300 works and highlights periods and movements such as colonial portraiture, the Hudson River School, American Impressionism, and the Ash Can School, including Thomas Hart Benton’s mural series The Arts of Life in America; the museum centers its exhibitions and programs on this collection while also presenting loans and works by emerging artists. In 2026, the institution created a Hamm Family Curatorial Fellow role to advance research, exhibitions, and public engagement connected to its permanent holdings. It has hosted community-focused events, including Craft Sippin' in New Britain and Juneteenth Access for All Community Day, reflecting a commitment to broadening participation in its offerings.
