It has come to our attention that many UConn international students and scholars are unaware that admissions to the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford is free.

The Wadsworth Atheneum is one of the oldest continually operating art museums in the United States.^[5] It has significant holdings of French and American Impressionist paintings, Hudson River School landscapes, modernist masterpieces and contemporary works, as well as extensive holdings in early American furniture and decorative arts.

The museum is located at 600 Main Street in a distinctive castle-like building in downtown Hartford, Connecticut, the state's capital. With 196,000 square feet (18,200 m²), the museum is the largest art museum in the state of Connecticut.

Students and faculty of universities and colleges that are Institutional Members receive FREE ADMISSION with a valid student/faculty ID and are NOT charged for guided or self-guided visits. View a list of Institutional Members.
