Special exhibitions at the Lyman Allyn complement the Museum’s permanent collection galleries, providing visitors with something new to see and experience with each visit.
The Museum’s dynamic permanent and temporary exhibitions offer a wide range of learning experiences for groups of all types and ages.

Featuring particularly strong collections of American paintings and decorative arts, the Museum also presents a wide range of changing exhibitions and programs throughout the year.
Lyman Allyn Park will produce a dramatic change in the landscape of New London by creating a 12-acre, freely accessible urban park that will serve as a cultural and educational resource for the City of New London and the surrounding region.
Programs take place on the second Tuesday of the month, 1 – 3:30 pm. Participants may register for any number of classes.
Participants will enhance their critical thinking, communication, and visual literacy skills as they explore the galleries and complete a hands-on art project each month. This program is designed specifically for aspiring homeschool artists ages 5-12.
Make connections between the environment, bees, and art with the outdoor sculpture installation The Bee Project. Create two bee sculptures, one to add to the sculpture and one to take home, using recycled materials.
