We are open until 8pm on Thursdays!

Your support helps us continue to collect, preserve, and share history and culture. Support the Museum

 

Understanding how people have struggled with mental health throughout history helps us support ourselves and each other today. This exhibition explores how society has sought and continues to seek care for the mind and mental health. Letters, photographs, and other artifacts will help share the experiences of Connecticans from the past. Oral history interviews, recorded in 2020 and 2021, will share the perspectives of people today.

This exhibition is made possible with generous support from CT Humanities and Ensworth Charitable Foundation, Bank of America, N.A., Trustee, and Hartford HealthCare Institute of Living.
