Here Are 9 Museums In Connecticut That Are Just Too Weird For Words
Connecticut certainly has its fair share of museums, some of which are pretty cool. But we also have a few that tickle your curiosity and make you wonder. This list doesn’t have any of those though, because this list is about those museums that are an ode to strange things, or that leave you baffled as to why there was a need to dedicate a whole museum to the subject in the first place. What makes them awesome is that they’re unlike any other museum you’ve visited, because they aren’t just old paintings and wildlife scenes behind plexiglass. See for yourself!
Please note, The Barnum Museum and Cushing Brain Collection are temporarily closed.
During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.
1. Museum of Natural and Other Curiosities (Old State House, Hartford)
If you aren't freaked out by all the eyes on you, this place celebrates the artistry of puppets at the only campus in the country that offers a masters in the subject.
Unlike other art spaces, this museum decided not to focus on one specific medium or style, so there's a little of everything here, including dance and an extensive collection of buttons!
