About Slater Memorial Museum

The museum sits on the grounds of Norwich Free Academy in Norwich, Connecticut. Its collection spans several continents and includes fine and decorative pieces. Visitors can also see the building itself, a brick and brownstone structure designed by Stephen C. Earle in the Richardsonian Romanesque style. The adjacent Converse Art Gallery, completed in 1906, sits beside it. Rotating exhibitions cover topics such as 19th-century American painting, Connecticut artists, and Norwich's role in the Revolutionary War.
