For 60 years, the New Britain Youth Museum NBYM, a non-profit museum and nature center, has served as an educational resource for children, youth, families, and teachers in central Connecticut. The New Britain Youth Museum at Hungerford Park, Kensington, offers educational programming, exhibits, and special events that relate to environmental education, biological and animal sciences, and STEM.

Two locations have been established to meet our mission: NBYM at Hungerford Park, a 30-acre nature- and animal rehabilitation center in Kensington, and the downtown site, located at 30 High Street, New Britain, is an intimate museum with changing exhibits and interactive activities for children of all ages. Both locations are open year-round. The New Britain Youth Museum offers school programming, outreach, exhibits, and special events that focus on history, art, science, and the cultural heritage of the diverse peoples of the region.
