Bruce Museum of Arts and Science

The Bruce Museum is an art and science museum in Greenwich, Connecticut, that combines art collections and natural science exhibitions under one roof. Its three floors house different exhibition spaces with historical and contemporary objects from fine art, natural science, and natural history.

The museum was founded in 1912 and originally operated under private direction. In 1992, it underwent a major transformation when it became an independent nonprofit organization.

The collection displays works from the Cos Cob School art movement, a local group of artists who settled in the area in the early 1900s. Visitors can see paintings by artists like Childe Hassam and Emil Carlsen, who captured the landscape and light of the region.

The museum offers several aids to make your visit comfortable, including Spanish language labels and large print materials for easy reading. Wheelchair-accessible entrances are available to ensure visitors with mobility needs have a pleasant experience.

The museum operates the Brucemobile, a specially equipped van that brings educational exhibits directly to surrounding communities. This mobile program allows people who cannot visit the museum itself to still engage with its content.
