The New Jersey State Museum: The Main Building is Back with a Breathtaking New Exhibit!

The New Jersey State Museum’s Main Building reopens its doors May 17 with Culture in Context: A Tapestry of Expression, an exhilarating new exhibit that celebrates New Jersey’s artistic and cultural life. From artists’ demonstrations to eclectic and masterful performances, the new exhibit, sponsored by the Museum and the New Jersey Council of the Arts, offers an exciting panorama of the beauty and meaning that emerges from our shared identities in a state pulsating with diversity and creativity.

Make a day of it! Enjoy the depth and richness of our distinct sections in archaeology/ ethnology, cultural history, fine art, and natural history -- a “four in one” museum experience with inspiration and discovery for every member of the family.

ABOUT THE MUSEUM

From fossils to fine art, from Native American tools to the finest silver, from quilts to comets, from prehistory to the future, the New Jersey State Museum is four museums in one and offers a galaxy of experiences for every member of the family.

Treasures, collected since the early 1800's, are housed in a modern main building overlooking the Delaware River in Trenton and are enhanced by exciting programs offered in an adjoining 150-seat planetarium and an adjacent 400-seat auditorium. General admission is free.

The New Jersey State Museum, a division of the Department of State, is an accredited member of the American Association of Museums. This Web Site is updated regularly to keep you apprised of the many exciting learning opportunities that are available at the Museum.
