Mystic Museum of Art, Art museum in New London County, Connecticut.
The Mystic Museum of Art displays paintings and sculptures by artists from the region and across the country across multiple gallery rooms overlooking the Mystic River. The collection spans a well-maintained building situated directly along the waterfront, creating a connection between the artworks and the river setting.
The museum was founded more than a century ago from a desire to bring visual arts to southeastern Connecticut. Its roots as an art center have made it a stable anchor for the region.
The museum shapes local artistic life through rotating exhibitions and social events where visitors encounter artists and fellow art lovers in informal settings. These gatherings have become woven into the community's rhythm and attract people from different backgrounds.
The museum is located at 9 Water Street in Mystic with easy access from the waterfront and ample room to explore the different gallery spaces. The best time to visit is when weather is pleasant, as the river views are particularly appealing from outside.
The museum hosts Artini Hours, casual gatherings where visitors look at artworks together and discuss what they see. These events create a space where people with and without art knowledge feel equally welcome.
