Photos of Florence Griswold Museum of American Impressionism: Exteriors

In early 20^th century Florence Griswold opened her boarding house to artists searching for a quiet country retreat where they could rejuvenate their spirits and find sources of inspiration. The group was known as the Lyme Art Colony and Miss Florence's boardinghouse became the center of Impressionism in America. Now the Florence Griswold Museum provides a look at how they lived and what they did. I was recently there and here are photos of the exterior. In my next post I will provide my photos of the interior.

I particularly enjoy the large "land art" sculpture.
