Lyman Allyn Museum of Art

Frommer's Review

This neoclassical granite building stands on a hill looking toward the Coast Guard Academy. Its holdings are the result of the enthusiasms of private collectors and include Colonial American paintings; landscapes by Hudson River School artists Frederic Edwin Church, George Inness, and Albert Bierstadt; and Asian temple castings and Japanese lacquerware.

A notable collection of 19th-century dolls and dollhouses, arranged in detailed room settings right down to tiny ladles on the kitchen counter, is now in Deshon-Allyn House on the museum grounds and open to the public on the third Sunday of the month from 1 to 3pm.
