Florence Griswold Museum main gallery.

Cath and I went to the Florence Griswold Museum today after picking up two free passes at the New London public library. Since I’m not working right now, free is good. The picture gallery in the main building was OK - nice paintings, but nothing really outstanding. Perhaps it was just me, but the building seemed like it had more spaced devoted to non-accessible function rooms than actual gallery space.

For me, the best part was the actual Florence Griswold house where the artists lived while venturing out into the countryside to paint during the warmer months of the early 20th century. I’ve always been more interested in exhibits showing how people lived in the past (go figure), so I felt that this was far more interesting than the main building.

One of the more unusual exhibits that happened to be on the museum grounds was a structure built out of branches cut on site. I can’t recall the guy’s name that made the structure, but I’ve seen pictures other work that he has done on the web before.

All in all, a good way to spend a few hours.
