The Museum OPENS JUNE 2, 2021 For The Summer!

Enjoy a walk to the Museum. The Immigrant Eyes exhibition is indoors AND outdoors!

This exhibition consists of a gallery installation in the Benton Museum featuring large scale photographs of eyes (previously exhibited in store fronts in downtown New London in 2016) as well as this outdoor exhibition of large-scale portraits of recent refugees and immigrants (these works were exhibited in 2018 on the New Haven Green). Both projects are part of Joe Standart’s Portrait of America series that aims to “stimulate awareness, overcome indifference, and encourage people to build a respectful multicultural society”. Joe Standart (b.1950) is a Connecticut-based photographer who works on public art and community engagement initiatives.

Museum Hours:

• Wednesday to Friday: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM
