New Haven Museum



Hiking in the historical museum I did not really like it. I think his collection is very poor. 
Here's a short list of what you can see there:
  • Fine Arts – paintings, including landscapes by local artists and portraits from the 18th and 19thcenturies; watercolors, prints and drawings.
  • Decorative Arts – regional furniture from the 17th through the 19th centuries, pewter, silver, clocks, textiles, glass, and ceramics.
  • Maritime History – images and objects relating to New Haven’s coastal, West Indies, and international trade, oyster industry, and shipbuilding.
  • Technology and Manufacturing – includes an original model and full-size working version of Eli Whitney’s cotton gin, an early milling machine from the Whitney Armory, one of the first Morse code receivers, and a reconstruction of the first telephone switchboard.
    Well, according to the tradition of a few photos.
