The Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme invites visitors to shake off any leftover winter blues and celebrate Discovery Sundays each Sunday afternoon through the summer. In addition to the popular “Make-A-Painting” activities, where visitors of all ages use the Museum’s supplies to create their own masterpieces, Discovery Sundays now include a new outdoor Art Cart that guides families to explore the grounds and its connection to the artists, who famously painted there.
Seasonal buildings including the Chadwick Studio and the Rafal Landscape Center are now open for the season. And with any luck, now you’ll finally find some color in the garden!
The Museum is open every Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. and all activities are included with admission. Children 12 and under are always free. The Museum is closed Easter Sunday.
The Florence Griswold Museum is known as the Home of American Impressionism.
