The Tort Museum takes visitors through the history of tort law and highlights precedent setting cases that affect our justice system, and daily life, today. Through interactive and traditional exhibits, visitors can discover the evolution of consumer protection, and how critical each of their voices are in upholding justice for all in this country.
Issues that affect every citizen are brought to life in our galleries, including vehicle safety, workplace injury, and numerous other situations that result in personal harm, whether physical, emotional or financial. Through our exhibits we hope to spark critical thinking, encouraging everyone to ask questions and develop their ethics as citizens.
The American Museum of Tort Law seeks to increase citizen understanding of Tort Law - the law of wrongful injury - and the role it plays in protecting personal freedom, health and safety through the American civil justice system.
Opened on September 26th, 2015, the museum is a fresh new addition to the museum landscape of Connecticut, New England and the United States! In fact, The American Museum of Tort Law is the first museum about law in North America, and quite possibly the world!
Currently our collection includes dangerous toys, a 1963 Corvair, a jukebox and a piece of factory machinery.
We are working to build a collection, with a particular focus on materials used as trial exhibits.
We offer tours specific to group needs. Also we are happy to host educate professional development events as well as meetings and other gatherings.
In addition to two main gallery spaces we have a theatre room equipped with a projector.
