The museum also highlights the commercial and cultural achievements related to the city of Waterbury. This includes a collection of 15,000 buttons, which was donated to the museum by the now-defunct Button Museum operated by the Waterbury Button Company.〔(“More Than a Sewing Fancy,” New York Times, May 27, 2001 )〕 In 2008, the museum began offering self-guided tours of downtown Waterbury that highlight the city’s distinctive architectural achievements.〔(“Be a tourist in your own city,” Waterbury Republican-American, August 9, 2008 (subscription access required) )〕 The museum also features a regional history exhibit that uses interactive displays, oral histories and historic movie clips to trace the past and present of Waterbury and the surrounding areas in New Haven County, Connecticut.〔
The museum supports ongoing artistic achievement with its Connecticut Biennial, a competition that is open to artists who maintain a residence or a studio within the state.
