Title A name given to the resource The Lyman Allyn Art Museum, est. 1926 Description An account of the resource The Museum was established in 1926 as a gift of New London resident Harriet Allyn in honor of her father and opened its doors in 1932. Allyn’s father, Captain Lyman Allyn, began his career in whaling and eventually branched out into the banking, insurance, and railroad industries. Harriet Allyn bequeathed funds for the Museum in her will, which also donated land to the Connecticut College for Women, and the Museum still has a close relationship with the College today. Architect Charles A. Platt was hired “to design an elegant neo-classical granite structure on a hill overlooking New London and the Thames River." At the time of opening, the Museum held thirteen works but it now is home to 17,000 pieces of American art. The Lyman Allyn prides itself on providing art education to local school children as budgets for art education programs are cut.
