The New Britain Youth Museum and the New Britain Youth Museum at Hungerford Park are non-profit educational institutions dedicated to enhancing the learning experience for children, young adults, and adults in Connecticut.

Welcome to our website!     Take a look at each web page for information on current events, programs, exhibits, classes, and other educational happenings at the New Britain Youth Museums.

WHAT'S NEW?   We've just installed a new playscape at Hungerford Park, and will be performing a special dedication ceremony at 12 pm on May 31st as part of our Family Nature and Heritage Day!  Come play and explore with us!  

We also have a new cow at Hungerford.   Her name is Wilma, and she made her debut in the barnyard in December.   Come say hello as soon as you can!   For other events and programs, be sure to check out our Spring schedule in the Special Events section of the site!

Our brand new exhibit called "To the Back of Beyond:   The Travel's of Dr.   Elizabeth Cunningham and Gertrude Bridge"  is now open at the downtown museum.   This interactive geography exhibit features some of the 46,000 slides donated to the museum after the recent death of Dr. Cunningham.   This fascinating display travels over 7 continents and 50 years, with fun for the whole family.
