The New Britain Museum of American Art showcases American art through the ages, and owns more than 11,000 works of painting, illustration, photography, and sculpture. The Sanford B.D. Low Illustration Collection includes important works by Norman Rockwell.

The museum's permanent collections are varied, and incorporate Colonial and Federal portraits, the early and late Hudson River School, 19^th century still lifes, post-Civil War figural painting and sculpture, Impressionism, Social Realism, Surrealism, Early Modernism, and the Ash Can School. Groups of eight people or more can participate in hour-long docent-led guided tours, and the museum welcomes school groups, early childhood groups, and has resources for homeschooling.
