One City. Nine Stops. Endless Discoveries.
Introducing the Hartford Museum & Gallery Passport
Step into a city rich with culture, history, and creativity. The Hartford Museum & Gallery Passport is your invitation to discover ten remarkable destinations, from historic homes and literary landmarks to cutting-edge galleries and hands-on science. Whether you are a local or a visitor, this passport helps you experience Hartford’s museums as a connected journey rather than separate stops.
With one route, you can make a day of it, spark conversations, and uncover the threads that connect Hartford’s past, present, and future. As you go, you will check off spots on your passport and have the chance to collect limited edition badges from each museum you visit. The more you explore, the more badges you earn.
