New Britain Museum of American Art

For a private, docent-led tour of In Thread and On Paper: Anni Albers in Connecticut

With Beverly Pierz ’80 MED (School of Architecture)

2:00-3:00 pm: Admission fee is $15.00 per person. We must make one payment for our entire group at the front desk in the lobby. Please arrive no later than 1:45 pm so we can collect your payment – exact cash only. (Special note to those who are members of NBMAA and/or the North American Reciprocal Museum Association: your membership admission benefits do not apply to this docent-led tour – you must pay the $15 admission fee.) 

Maximum capacity is 20 people. Register no later than Sunday, March 22, 2020 to [email protected]. We will keep a wait list. If your plans change and you are no longer able to join us, please let Susan know as soon as possible so we can fill your slot.

12:30-1:30 pm: For those interested in having a pay-as-you-go bite to eat before the tour, join us at the Museum’s Café on the Park at 12:30 pm. We cannot reserve or hold tables, but we will do our best to sit together!

NBMAA is a gem. It’s open from 11 am – 5 pm. Take advantage of all it has to offer while you’re here! The Museum has a rich history – and a bright future! 2020 is all women, all year. Why? Read the director’s vision about Why Women Artists. About that “park” in the Café’s name: the Museum is sited on the northern edge of Walnut Hill Park, an early work of landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted (born and buried in Hartford). The view from the Café’s is spectacular!

The museum is located at 56 Lexington Street in New Britain. Find directions here and information about parking here.
