11 Aug, 2024Exceptional museum, especially for children where you can see tons of art, tons of minerals, tons of fossils and tons of live aquatic animals from Connecticut. It is a smaller version of the Met Plus natural history that is much less crowded. Strongly recommend. It is free for children on summer weekends and $20 for adults/ $15 for students. They also have a lot of fun activities for kids and we got to enjoy the clay fossil making activity, with a teacher on site (thank you Ms Gaby) Plan to spend around 2 hours and enjoy the amazing park after or before. They also have a nice cafe inside

29 Oct, 2024Decided to spend a Sunday morning languidly touring the Bruce Museum for my first visit. What a gem! Who knew that the 2024 annual competition for the Federal Duck Stamp artwork was held here? For that matter, who even knew about the Duck Stamp history? And those glorious ducks! Saw wonderful works by Andrew Wyeth. As a (very) fledgling pencil artist myself, I was thrilled to study his watercolors up close. But, when I reached the Joel Sternfeld photograph "Exhausted Renegade Elephant" I simply started crying. So sad, such a metaphor, so moving. Finding the Bruce is easy, parking is free and plentiful, and the signage is excellent. The content of the Museum is just right for a single day visit and seemed very engaging for the children I observed. I didn't eat in the cafe but it looked bright. clean, and inviting. Now, keep this next tidbit a secret.....please. The giftshop has a lovely selection of perfect games, jewelry, and other items at remarkably low prices. Don't tell anyone!

27 Nov, 2024Been visiting this local treasure since my return to the area (1988) and have witnessed ever evolving exhibitions. Wonderful while the kids were growing up, my son eventually volunteering @ the Long Island Sound satellite. The recent tastefully done expansion greatly increased display spaces. IMHO, there's something for everyone now, and not so overwhelming compared to The City museums and the constant FOMO.

31 Jul, 2023I am impressed. This is a great place to enjoy viewing beautiful art pieces and scientific exhibits at the same time. Some areas are very fun and educational for kids as there are a lot of interactive exhibits, including a radioactivity meter, digital microscope, mineral gallery, a lot of touch screens, and others. The museum building itself is very beautiful, modern, and hi-tech.
