Long Island Sound Exhibit

One of the exciting things about the Lutz Children's Museum is that exhibits change often. 

Our newest exhibit brings the sights and sounds of the ocean closer to home.  Climb aboard a fishing vessel or dive below the waves in a research submarine.

Come and learn about Connecticut's connection to the sea. 

Special thanks to the SBM Charitable Foundation and the Foulds Family Foundation for their support of this exhibit.

Farm Exhibit

Central Connecticut has a rich farming history.  Visitors will have the experience of visiting a local farm in the 1800's.

Even the children have jobs on the farm.  Milk the cow and collect eggs from the hens before you climb up to the hay loft to relax.

Visit “Arnie” the groundhog and about fifty of his closest friends. The Lutz Children’s Museum has trained and licensed staff to care for injured wildlife. These animals receive medical care, a balanced diet and lots of loving care. Animals are released into the wild when they are healthy again, but they can stay if their injuries are so serious that they can no longer care for themselves.

Revolving exhibits of children's artwork are hung in a hallway gallery along with occasional works by professional artists. We grateful to the artists who fill the museum with color and their art teachers who select and transport the objects d'art.

It is appropriate that we should encourage young artists and display their work. Our founder, Hazel Lutz, was an art teacher in the 1950's. She loved to share her love of art with children.

Join us soon for a gallery opening. We will enjoy some classical music and tip a glass (of juice) to toast these celebrated young artists

 

 

 

The main entry hallway holds displays from the museum’s extensive collection of artifacts.
