Newark Museum

My recent visit to the Newark Museum of Art was nothing short of phenomenal. A standout attraction, the Valentine House, offered an enriching dive into Newark’s history, leaving a lasting impression. The museum’s third-floor exhibits, showcasing Eastern cultures, were both enlightening and visually stunning. Equally impressive were the aquatic displays on the second floor, presenting a mesmerizing world of fish and sea life. The museum’s ambiance contributed significantly to the experience. Despite its offerings, the space was refreshingly uncrowded, allowing for an unhurried exploration. The staff deserves special mention for their helpfulness, enhancing the visit with their knowledge and assistance. Additionally, the gift shop was a delightful end to the journey, boasting a variety of unique items. This visit to the Newark Museum of Art was an enriching experience that I highly recommend. Its diverse exhibits and welcoming environment have left me eagerly anticipating my next visit.

What a wonderful experience it was! It will take you back in time with their informative exhibits. Loved listening to their vinyl record player and have a glimpse into how their bedrooms were like decades ago. What does need some work is their planetarium. It needs a drastic update. Other than that, I appreciate them being fully accesible for the disable. After walking through each exhibit, you realize how immense this museum truly is.

The staff was polite, helpful, and attentive. The exhibits were all beautiful and so much culture and history. The Ballentine house opened recently after some time closed, and it was one of my prime reasons to come and see and share with my kids.
