Founded in 1842 by Daniel Wadsworth, the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art houses collections of nearly 50,000 works of art, spanning 5,000 years and embracing European art from antiquity through to Modernism as well as American art from the 1600s to today. Highlights include works by Caravaggio, Frederic Edwin Church, Salvador Dalí, Fra Angelico, Paul Gauguin, Sol LeWitt, Georgia O’Keeffe, Robert Rauschenberg and Kara Walker.
