Katharine Hepburn was married once, to Ludlow Ogden Smith, in 1928. She kept her Babani gown, which was sold after she passed away and stored for twenty years. The Katharine Hepburn Museum has brought this dress back home to Connecticut and it will be exhibited alongside two others - one from the play "The Lake" (1933) and one from the film "The Sea of Grass" (1947) to create a stunning trio. This beautiful exhibit brings together Kate’s stage, screen, and personal lives in a never-before-seen way.

Museum Hours:
Tuesday through Friday 10 AM to 4 PM and one hour prior to performances. Closed major holidays.

Additional Summer Hours: Saturday and Sunday, 12 to 4 PM in July & August only

Stitching Time features 12 quilts created by men who are incarcerated in the Louisiana State Penitentiary, also known as Angola Prison. These works of art, and accompanying recorded interviews, tell the story of a unique inside-outside quilt collaboration. The exhibition focuses our attention on the quilt creators, people often forgotten by society when discussing the history of the U.S. criminal justice system. Also on view in the gallery will be "Give Me Life," a selection of works by women artists who are presently or have been incarcerated at York Correctional Institution, a maximum-security state prison in Niantic, CT, courtesy of Community Partners in Action (CPA). The CPA’s Prison Arts program was initiated in 1978 and is one of the longest-running projects of its kind in the United States. Founded in 1875, CPA is celebrating 150 years of working within the criminal justice system.

We invite families to join us for folktales, myths, and exciting stories from around the world that highlight objects in the collection and inspire children of all ages to view art in new ways.

Meet by the couches in the Gallery lobby.

On Sunday, October 5, ASL interpretation will be available for this program.
