The Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, based in Hartford, Connecticut, is a public art museum and cultural institution established in 1842 by Daniel Wadsworth. It holds a large collection of roughly 50,000 works covering five millennia, including notable holdings such as the Morgan collection of Greek and Roman antiquities, European decorative arts, Baroque and Surrealist paintings, Hudson River School landscapes, and European and American Impressionist works. The holdings also extend to modernist art, fashion and textiles, prints, and specialized collections like the Serge Lifar drawings and costumes, the Wallace Nutting colonial furniture collection, and the Samuel Colt firearms collection.

As part of the Museums, Historical Sites, and Zoos industry, the institution serves a broad audience of researchers, students, families, and art enthusiasts by providing access to a wide range of art and artifacts and related programming. Hartford-area residents and visitors benefit from its public programming and exhibitions, with recent reports noting that the museum plans to restore Wednesday hours and expand public access, supported by a grant.
