The Florence Griswold Museum is a National Historic Landmark
located in the heart of the historic district in Old Lyme, Connecticut.
A historic center for American art known as the home of American Impressionism,
the Florence Griswold Museum encompasses eleven acres along the Lieutenant
River.
Today, visitors to the Florence Griswold Museum immediately
appreciate its appeal to the artists who once stayed with Miss Florence.
In addition to the Florence Griswold House, the Museum features a modern
riverfront gallery, education center, historic gardens, and a restored artist
studio.
Visitors to the Museum are treated to a rare opportunity.
The artists of the Lyme Art Colony left Miss Florence, and generations of
art lovers, something very special. Many artworks are painted directly on
the walls and doors of the Griswold House. The tradition was probably imported
from hostelries in the French art colonies of Barbizon, Giverny, and Pont-Aven.
Forty-one such panels appear throughout the downstairs rooms. The most breathtaking
example is found in the dining room. The Museum contains one of the most
complete chronicles of the art colony movement in America.
Please see the Museum's website for hours and admission
fees.
