  • Hidden gem in downtown Waterbury. I went in for a Latin jazz concert and had to stay for the art. I will return just to enjoy the great art and exhibits.
  • History, good food and great friends! What else could I ask for? Murder mystery show yes please! Who done it? That's for you to figure out. The museum features multiple levels art exhibits. They also feature early Americana, Connecticut and local Waterbury area history. Which is my favorite. They also feature local products from Connecticut and their gift shop. And a wider range of gifts very unique items as well. Inside the museum they have The Art of Yum. They featured Pepper polo panini Fig bacon and ricotta grilled cheese Spicy tuna rolls Mini tacos- steak, chicken and Mediterranean (vegan) Korean noodle bowls- spicy kimichi (vegan) and shrimp They also had a signature cocktails called Gin cold blood. Definitely fits the murder mystery theme, which features gin, pomegranate syrup, lemon juice and seltzer water. If they also had can cocktails beer and wine. About the show they do bend the rules of History as they use historic artist from the Connecticut area. Artists like Alexander Calder, Elsie Roland Chase, Francis Hines I heard that whose art was technically discovered in a dumpster due to the fact that he rented a barn in Watertown Connecticut. We also had George Marinko and Kay Sage. We also had the sassy detective officer Smith. This was a very unique and interesting experience I suggest it to anyone who wants to have a fun night along with great food.
