The Wadsworth Wonders Scavenger Hunt

Discover the art of adventure!

See the best of the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art in Hartford on a whirlwind tour that reveals the most unusual and amusing details in six centuries’ worth of great paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts. After the recent renovations, there has never been a better time to visit and be dazzled. But this isn’t your ordinary tour: on this group game, you’ll follow clues and collaborate with teammates to answer tricky, humorous questions about what you find.

Along the way, you might uncover…

• A chaotic nudist camp
• Trojan horseplay
• A lion whisperer
• An infamous piece of painted propaganda
• Colonial calamities
• A pistol-packin’ gallery
• Inaccurate acupuncture
• A portrait that a Founding Father dismissed as simply shin-ful
• And someone committing chop suey-cide

Those are just a few of the hilarious highlights you’ll be treated to on this tour. And anyone can play and win: no knowledge of the museum or art is required. You just need sharp eyes and comfy shoes. The emphasis is on teamwork—and fun.
