Connecticut's Own "Met"
Hartford, Connecticut has a treasure hiding in plain sight. The Wadsworth Atheneum is a world-class museum endowed largely, like the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, by J. P. Morgan.

There is currently a special exhibition called Gerald Incandela: Photographic Drawings where the artist actually paints directly on photo prints as they're being developed!
