Established in 1895, the New Jersey State Museum is dedicated to inspiring lifelong learning in art, science, and history. The exhibits cover an incredibly broad range of topics, and the collection boasts more than two million objects, including prehistoric specimens, cultural artifacts from the 17th century to the present day, and pieces of fine artwork. Visitors are welcome to explore the museum on their own, but you can also take a guided tour or participate in one of the many hands-on activities the museum has to offer. There's also a 140-seat planetarium, which presents sky shows on weekends and school holidays.
