Coloring New London

November 18, 2017 – January 21, 2018
This Wonderment season brings family-sized fun to the Lyman Allyn! Our newest exhibit, Coloring New London, covers the gallery walls in gigantic coloring book “pages” for people of all ages to color. The exhibit features scenes drawn from historic New London postcards and paintings in the museum’s collection. Join friends and neighbors from the Lyman Allyn community in filling in the pictures over the course of the exhibit and visit or check us out on Facebook to see how they develop.  Coloring New London encourages visitors to get creative and have fun this holiday season!
