Overview: Andrea Fraser staged this performance in April 1991 at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford, Connecticut, one of the oldest museums in the United States. Taking the form of a guided tour, Welcome to Wadsworth, instead of escorting visitors through the museum, takes them on a tour of the outside of the building. In this way, the artist/lecturer draws attention to and exposes the relationship of the museum to the colonial past of Hartford and the historical legacy that influences the city’s present.
