Pardon Our Appearance!
Work has begun on the development of Lyman Allyn Park. This major project will transform the Museum’s outdoor space into a twelve-acre urban art park. The Museum is working with Downes Construction Co. who is managing the project. The first phase begins with a range of tree work, including pruning, trimming, and removal of some trees that were not part of the 1932 site plan, as well as removal of invasive species.
What does this mean for visiting?
We will remain open during normal hours throughout the landscaping renovations. Please note that you will experience varying levels of construction noise upon entering and existing the Museum.
