AGENCY FUNCTION: The New Britain
Museum of American Art's founding in 1903 entitles the institution to be
designated the first museum of strictly American art in the country. With particular strengths in colonial
portraiture, the Hudson River School, American Impressionism, and the Ash Can School, not to mention the important mural series The
Arts of Life in America
by Thomas Hart Benton, the museum relies heavily on its permanent collection
for exhibitions and programming, yet also displays a significant number of
borrowed shows and work by emerging artists. The singular focus on American art
and its panoramic view of American artistic achievement make the New Britain
Museum of American Art a significant teaching resource available to the local,
regional, and national public.
