Connecticut is fortunate to have many quality museums and the Mattatuck is right there with them. It's a bit smaller than the New Britain Museum of American Art and has a similar collection of 19th and 20th century standouts like Frederic Edwin Church and Alexander Calder. There are rooms dedicated to changing exhibits and resident artists. One room had an exhibit of Mattatuck Museum members whose work was curated by a juror. The selection featured a range of local artist from paintings to collage, photography and sculpture. It's also a great place to learn about Waterbury history and why they call it "the Brass City". This multimedia exhibit has a lot of hands-on activities for the kids to stay entertained. There are several levels of admission, including a discount for AARP members. Parking on the street uses a kiosk Monday through Saturday so best to use the free parking in the back. It’s easy to get to, especially if you use GPS. Our WAZE directions were accurate. Be aware that the museum is on the Waterbury green so there are two West Main streets. This is a wonderful museum with a community-centered approach to engaging viewers in discovering, learning and enjoying art. Take it slow and save some for another visit.

It's nice to know about this place. Good place to learn about the area history. Need time to learn everything. I would prefer to visit the place thought several visits if you are interested in history. The first floor by the reception has special exhibitions from time to time. I like the idea. One section would be dedicated for an artist from a past era while the other for contemporary artist. Also, the second and third floor has special exhibitions. In the day of opening a new exhibitions and there is a reception the museum is open for public for free. There is enough parking.
