Greenwich, Connecticut's Bruce Museum was originally built in 1853 as a private home for Francis Lister Hawks. Purchased by Robert Moffat Bruce five years later, the house served as a meeting point for the Greenwich Society of Artists from 1912 until 1926. Over the course of the rest of the twentieth century, the Bruce collected over 15,000 art objects as it transitioned into becoming a world class museum of fine art. In 1998, the Bruce Museum was accredited by the American Association of Museums, an honor shared by an elite sliver of great museums around the country. On exhibit here are paintings, sculptures, prints, along with large mineral and avian collections. Along with permanent exhibits, visitors will find an array of special exhibitions, as well. Check the Bruce Museum's website for more information. Whether you're in Stamford or Greenwich, the Bruce Museum is a world class museum worth visiting!
