Description

New Jersey's largest collection of fine art and natural sciences is housed in The Newark Museum in Newark's Arts District, a facility that ranges from Mini Zoo, with 100 live animals, to planetarium, paintings to anthropological objects like pottery and ritual artifacts. Enjoy a look around the historic Ballantine House, associated with the museum, for a glimpse of period furnishings and decorative arts items on show, and take a quick trip back to the truly ancient past exploring artifacts from Egypt, Greece and Rome as part of a comprehensive tour. Those with young ones in tow will want to be sure to leave time for some educational play in the Victorica Hall of Science, where visitors can learn more about earthquakes, volcanos, caves and even polar bears trying out interactive exhibits. Keep an eye on the events calendar for information on coming exhibits and programs on offer at the museum.
