  • Benton: An Exhibition Is Closing

    Childhood in American Art Exhibition Is Closing On December 18, 2021

    This exhibition offers a glimpse into childhood in 19th and early 20th century America through works of art in the Benton Museum’s permanent collection, as well as through objects on loan from UConn Archives and Special Collections, and other museum and private collections. This exhibition will touch on the changing concepts of childhood and look at the gendered imagery found in so many of its depictions.  This exhibition features paintings and works on paper as well as some objects of material culture including toys, primers, samplers, and furniture.

    Catch this exhibition before it closes soon.
