WHAT'S IN YOUR CABINET?
Get a glimpse of the many kinds of things that New Jersey collectors amass when New Jersey Collects: A Cabinet of Your Curiosities opens today at the Morris Museum in Morristown.
Morris Museum offers "New Jersey Collects: A Cabinet of Your Curiosities." These cabinets, which were the start of museums in the mid-16th century, were places for people to display objects that they had collected from around the world. The Morris Museum began as such a cabinet in 1913. It was a repository for artifacts and specimens found throughout the world that were used to help educate children at the Morristown Neighborhood House.
This exhibit is a modern-day Cabinet of Curiosities, featuring the collections of Garden State residents.
The museum is open Tuesdays through Saturdays, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sundays, from noon to 5 p.m. Admission is $10 for adults; $7 for seniors and children 3 to 12 years old; free for museum members and children younger than 3. Located at 6 Normandy Heights Road, Morristown. Visit morrismuseum.org.
