The Morris MuseumDescriptionThe Morris Musem art collection is diverse, ranging from fine and decorative art, to costumes and textiles, as well as art of both historic and contemporary interest.
The natural sciences collection encompasses vertebrates – mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish; invertebrates – arthropods, sponges, echinoderms and mollusks; and a limited collection of botanical materials. The collections include mounts and skeletons, mollusk shells, insects, specimens preserved in liquids and live specimens. Endangered and extinct species and non-regional fauna add important interpretive perspectives.
In addition, the museum’s geology and paleontology collection is its largest collection and is regarded as one of the best in New Jersey. The museum also has impressive ethnographic and archaeology artifacts.
