The Newark Museum of Art

The Newark Museum of Art (formerly known as the Newark Museum) is the state's largest museum, located in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey, USA. It houses significant collections of American art, decorative arts, contemporary art, and arts from Asia, Africa, the Americas, and antiquity. Works by Hiram Powers, Thomas Cole, John Singer Sargent, Albert Bierstadt, Frederick Church, Childe Hassam, Mary Cassatt, Edward Hopper, Georgia O'Keeffe, Joseph Stella, Tony Smith, and Frank Stella are among its extensive collections of American art. The Tibetan art galleries at the Museum are regarded as among the best in the world. In the early twentieth century, the collection was purchased from Christian missionaries. The Dalai Lama has consecrated an in-situ Buddhist altar in the Tibetan galleries. The Newark Museum of Art is dedicated to natural science in addition to its extensive art collections. The Dreyfuss Planetarium and the Victoria Hall of Science, which showcases selections from the museum's 70,000 specimen Natural Science Collection, are included. The Alice Ransom Dreyfuss Memorial Garden, located behind the museum, houses a variety of contemporary sculptures and serves as a venue for community events, concerts, and performances. The garden also houses a 1784 stone schoolhouse as well as the Newark Fire Museum.
