I loved the amount of art here! And it was all placed so well. My husband and I also came during the second Saturday event and admission was free. There was a lot of activities for children throughout and while we don't have kids of our own we are going to recommend it to our friends who do.

I haven't been to the Wadsworth in a long time, but it truly is a great place to visit. They have a lot of interesting exhibits there and it is free to visit from 4-5. One of Hartford's best cultural things to do.

Love love love the Wadsworth. Looking from the second floor down to the first was breath taking. Great collection of European, Renaissance, Baroque and American Art.

Beautiful place, full of hidden wonders of the world and many artists. Even van Gogh! Good for all ages so makes the perfect family trip, or a cute date, or a evening alone when in need of a change of scenery

The overall experience was okay. The staff was very friendly and helpful when needed. I was just looking for more cultural art exhibits. I was upset I missed the Amistad exhibit that would have been interesting.
