Curiosity Corner
The New London Public Museum invites you to explore the Curiosity Corner. Started in 2012 with a generous grant from the Friends of the New London Public Museum, the Curiosity Corner is a place for families to interact with a variety of projects and activities. It is a great place for kids of all ages from 5 to 105! Stop by and check out this unique hands-on area of the museum. There is so much to do you’ll have to come back again and again.
