Reviews of Knights of Columbus Museum (Museum)

Everette Hamlette

Very informative! Can't bring luggage in so if you're checking it out during a layover at the station make sure you traveled lightly. I enjoyed learning the historical facts of the religious community in Connecticut. Very beautiful interior and beautiful center field!

Gina Badalamenti

What a hidden gem! The exhibits are always so well thought out, high quality and more interesting then you'd think. The gift shop has some neat seasonal choices and many religious items... definitely worth an afternoon, I always find great …

Hank Cullinane

A great place to to learn of the wonderful charitable history of the Knights of Columbus

David Gianetti

You may never have thought to visit this museum as you may not be a Knight or Catholic. However, there are some great displays for WWII buffs and a beautiful 9/11 memorial. Overall, it's very well done.

Michael Dosch

Wonderful exhibits! This museum is interesting to anyone, but all Knights will thoroughly enjoy it.

Jess Mallory

A wonderful museum for the whole family. Set up excellent! There is an awesome gift shop on the first floor.The staff are very friendly and well informed about exhibitions. It's a gem in the city of New Haven Free parking under the building with elevators to the museum and benches throughout the museum to make it a comfortable place for any one to tour in comfort. If you are in New Haven,do visit this museum. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.

Great place to visit with the family, by yourself or on a date! It has free admission, but you are encouraged to provide a donation. Although, the building has 3 to 4 floors only the first floor is currently accessible to the public. For those so inclined you can begin your perusal of the facilities by watching a movie about a missing soldier. The experience is quiet something.

Worth the visit.

Corey Díaz

Very interesting museum; I enjoyed looking at the multiple religious artifacts displayed and the history that's given throughout, love the fact that the museum pays tribute to all those who perished on 9/11 with accompanying artifacts, quiet, very comfortable setting, near Union Station.

Joseph DeLuise

Great museum. They have a lot of very interesting exhibits with friendly and knowledgable staff to point the way. Free parking and free admission to boot means this is a spot everyone should visit at least once when in the area.

Len Clark

Awesome site.

timliu75 tim

A low-key museum with decent exhibitions. I was the only visitors there one afternoon but I fully enjoyed my stay by learning and seeing a number items associated with World War I. I can clearly feel that this museum indeed put a lot efforts in presenting their collections (along with other items loaned from other places) in a lively and easy-to-follow style. Located near the Union Station. Would recommend ~1 hr visiting there before you take off or drop someone off for this nice place. Freely open to public and free parking.

Sarah Ogawa

High quality exhibits! Their collections and the displays far exceeded my expectations. Each exhibit showcases a range of well-chosen pieces so as not to be overwhelming. But the quality and range of artifacts and objects is truly stunning …

Mikolaj Galazka

Federico

Lindo museo, entrada libre y gratuita. En este momento se exhibe KofC on World War I, además de una exhibición permanente sobre el papado en la historia. Muy recomendable.

Derik W

Very nice museum, and it's free. Very interesting and rich history. I learned a lot of new things I never knew. They also have a very large cross hanging on a wall that once was on a church that was in the Vatican. The amount of involvement they had with support World War 1 troops is amazing.

jan marco labrador

Nice museum

Keith Little

Informative and thought-provoking displays. Interactive experiences for kids, too.

Sky Dragon

Beautiful. Many things to see and learn. Excellent museum. Another beauty of the Catholicism!

Ryan P. Garcia

This place is a must see. 1) The happiest staff in the world. 2) before visiting I spent the past week seeing the Smithsonian and this was amazing. Smaller but so well done!

Sander Goldshteyn

Nice.

Stephen Mieczkowski

Great exposition!!

Brett Gissel

Great museum for members of the Knights of Columbus, but might only appeal to non-members when there are special exhibits.

Justin Appi

Free parking, free admission, incredible displays, friendly staff. A hidden gem in New Haven.

Carbo Kuo

哥倫布騎士團博物館，一個成立於一百多年前的天主教團體。

Alex Kwiatkowski

Didn't have enough time to go through slowly. There was so much detail to read carefully, but it was also easy to skim through and still have a valuable visit! Don't know why they've succumbed to the modern bag check security theater disease, though.

Erynn Szewczyk

Hidden gem. Grand mixture of history, Catholic history, and knights of Columbus involvement with both. The Annual Christmas show is a must see for any Christian family.

Christian Garza

This is a smaller museum, but it is full of lots of artifacts from the Knights of Columbus. For KC's, its a treasure trove of the Order's history and heritage and how they worked so hard to get Catholics considered American. If you have some time to kill in New Haven, this is a must-see.

Robert Raymond

I went the annual creche display which never disappoints. This year the theme was Creches of the World. There was also an interesting & poignant exibit on the K of C's volunteer work in World War I. This museum building in a subdued modern style looks deceptively small on the outside. The volunteer staff is very attentive & helpful.

Nadine Nelson

Unexpected museum to visit especially during the holidays with the Christmas exhibits. We go annually to see manger displays from around the world.

Kevin Feeney

Outstanding WW I exhibit

Christine Youn

Can't get better for free.

Rico Navea

like an old place

Joan R

Such a wonderful place

Kamal Nain

This is a good place to visit. Entry to the museum is free but you have to pay for street parking if visiting during weekdays. It displays many of the historical documents and things like the remains of WTC. Museum also depicts model themes based on different ideas like world war 2, christmas etc. Its a must place to visit.

I took my two boys there to see the WW I exhibit. Free parking and free admission. I dropped a 10 in the donations box. Not a bad way to spend a couple of hours. Went to Bar pizza afterwards.

Karen Hodgdon

Very nice museum full of historical Knights of Columbus information, paintings, facts, artifacts... The gift shop carries a lovely assortment of Catholic items; books, icons, rosaries for adults and children, Christmas ornaments, exquisitly painted egg shells of different sizes, and more. All items are offered at different price points so there is something for everyone. The ladies in the shop are charming, knowledgeable, and helpful with questions you may have. The museum also hosts different exhibits, annually. The general public is welcome to come to view these special presentations and to visit the museum as well. There is free parking below the museum and elevators to bring you up to the museum. You may even walk the grounds; there is a courtyard with benches surrounding, and a monument stone with many names engraved into it. I apologise for not remembering what it stands for.

Debbie Abernethy

This museum is unbelievably well kept it is spotless, there is no charge to go in, there is a donation then on your way out suggested donation is $5 it's well worth 4 times that. You're not rushed or crowded you can go through at your own pace it really was an amazing time I've lived here my whole life and never been until today definitely be going back.

Harry Munroe

A great museum. Did a good amount of Christmas shopping in the gift store.

M.A. Germain

Truth of and in History

Pat DeLuca

As a brother Knight and field agent. This museum was way more than I expected. Not only did it cover Father Mcgivney and his development and founding of the Knights but also included world events and rhimgs from thr past that have shaped the world. World wars...conflicts the knight's roles in events and other memorabilia. Well worth the visit. I will return someday ....

Betsy Rosenberg

The creche display was very enjoyable, many extraordinary works. Nice gift shop also.

Joseph Freda

The Knights of Columbus museum is a great experience . They change the exhibits on a regular basis so there always something to see. When we visited they were holding a world war I exhibit angling with a Christmas Tree showing. The war exhibits were very moving. Best of all it's all free!

Carlos Russo

Pretty small museum that you can tour quickly in an afternoon. Some of the displays were interesting, but overall not one I'd revisit. If you're trying to kill time - go for it; however, I wouldn't go out of my way to visit.

Tony Colasacco

Amazing experience

Gina Madden
