The Wadsworth Atheneum is America's oldest public art museum, founded in 1842 and still using its original buildings.  Continually outgrowing its original building, four new buildings were added, the Tudor-Revival Colt Memorial the Renaissance-Revival Morgan Memorial, the neo-classical Avery Memorial, and the modern Goodwin Building, and it has nearly 50,000 works spanning 5,000 years. Highlights are the Hudson River School collection, Baroque masterpieces, the Wallace Nutting Collection of Pilgram-Century Furniture, Meissen and Sevres porcelain, 19^th and 20^th century American and European art and the Amistad Foundation African-American Collection.*
