Acknowledged as the oldest museum in the country dedicated exclusively to the collection and exhibition of American Art, the New Britain Museum of American Art (NBMAA) traces its beginnings to 1903, when private citizens began an art collection for the enjoyment and education of the public. The collection today numbers over 11,000 oils, watercolors, drawings, graphics, photographs and sculptures representing works from 1740 to the present. Among collection highlights are colonial and federal portraiture, the Hudson River School, American Impressionism, the Ash Can School, as well as the important mural series The Arts of Life in America by Thomas Hart Benton.
