The Newark Museum of Art, Newark Overview

Founded in 1909, The Newark Museum of Art celebrates the coming together of art from different diversities in New Jersey. This museum is popular for student programmes and training sessions for art lovers. Expanding its horizons beyond art, this museum ventures into the bounty of natural resources. Its scientific exhibits like Victoria Hall of science, Alice and Leonard Dreyfuss Planetarium are simply worth seeing. Keeping pace with the pandemic times #NMOAatHome is a virtual programme that revolves around art, science and culture that the museum supports. This kind of initiative allows one to take an online guided tour into the museum through social media platforms. Under this programme, they also have a segment called ‘ask the astronomer’ that is organised by the planetarium on popular demand.
