Special exhibitions at the Lyman Allyn complement the Museum’s permanent collection galleries, providing visitors with something new to see and experience with each visit.
The Museum’s dynamic permanent and temporary exhibitions offer a wide range of learning experiences for groups of all types and ages.
Join us for artmaking on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month! Free First Saturday offers projects inspired by our exhibitions and Science Saturday explores the connections between art and science.
Your gift helps bring the Power of Art to everyone in our community!
Featuring particularly strong collections of American paintings and decorative arts, the Museum also presents a wide range of changing exhibitions and programs throughout the year.
Lyman Allyn Park will produce a dramatic change in the landscape of New London by creating a 12-acre, freely accessible urban park that will serve as a cultural and educational resource for the City of New London and the surrounding region.
We deeply appreciate the dedicated support from our community and look forward to seeing you at our next celebration.
Save the date for Saturday, May 30, 2026.
