Lyman Allyn Art Museum
The Lyman Allyn Art Museum was founded in 1926〔("Our Mission" ) on the Lymna Allyn Art Museum website〕 by Harriet Upson Allyn. It houses the most significant art collection in Southeastern Connecticut, including European and non-Western art as well as American fine and decorative art. Key strengths include 17th-century European works on paper, 19th-century American paintings, and contemporary art. The museum also includes educational programs for audiences ranging from pre-preschoolers to senior citizens.〔("Your museum" ) on the Lyman Allyn Art Museum website〕
The museum is located in New London, Connecticut. Also on the museum's campus is the stone Deshon-Allyn House, a Federal style home built in 1829 by Daniel Deshon, sold to Lyman Allyn, and occupied by various members of the Allyn family, including Harriet. The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
== History ==
The Lyman Allyn Art Museum was founded in 1926〔 by Harriet Upson Allyn in memory of her father, Lyman Allyn, a wealthy shipping merchant. Miss Allyn's bequest to construct the museum as a place for local citizens to learn about art and culture was made upon her death in 1926. Landscape architect and designer Charles A. Platt was hired by a group of trustees to construct the 32,000 square foot Neoclassical style museum building from local granite.〔("The Lyman Allyn Opens- Today in History: March 2" ) on the Connecticut College website〕
